Fernando Bracelli

Fernando Bracelli is a professional poker player from Italy, primarily active in limit mixed games at the World Series of Poker (WSOP). According to WSOP official statistics, he recorded three cash finishes with total earnings of $18,174, including one final-table appearance. Bracelli specialized in limit games such as Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo and Razz, demonstrating his competitiveness in these niche areas.

Bracelli's WSOP results are concentrated between the late 1990s and early 2000s, as follows:

• 1998 WSOP: Event #6: $1,500 Limit Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, 251 entrants, finished 17th, $2,259.
• 1999 WSOP: Event #2: $1,500 Limit Razz, 141 entrants, finished 4th, $12,690. This is his best WSOP result and his only final-table appearance.
• 2000 WSOP: Event #13: $2,500 Limit Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, 129 entrants, finished 14th, $3,225.

These events are all limit mixed games, distinct from the mainstream no-limit Texas Hold'em at the time, indicating Bracelli's expertise in non-mainstream disciplines.

The 1999 WSOP $1,500 Limit Razz event was the highlight of Bracelli's career. Razz is a seven-card lowball game where the goal is to make the lowest five-card hand. He emerged from 141 players to reach the final table and finished 4th, earning $12,690, which accounts for nearly 70% of his total WSOP winnings. This achievement not only brought financial reward but also proved his competitiveness in the game.

After 2000, Bracelli continued to play WSOP events. In 2007, he entered Event #20: $2,000 Seven-Card Stud High-Low Split (Eight-or-Better). The event attracted 340 players, with a total prize pool of $618,800. According to chip counts at the end of Day 1, Bracelli held 11,325 chips, placing him in mid-position among remaining players (Table 46, Seat 4). However, his final rank and payout are not recorded in available sources, suggesting he may not have cashed again.
