Jonathan Little Finishes Runner-Up Both Times

In poker, the odds of anyone winning back-to-back big-buy-in tournaments are slim to none. On Monday, Oct. 6, Alec "traheho" Torelli accomplished just that, winning both event No. 4 and event No. 5 of Bellagio's Festa al Lago Classic. Amazingly enough, Torelli beat former WPT champion Jonathan "FieryJustice" Little both times heads-up to claim his bracelets. To top it all off, Amnon Filippi managed to finish sixth in both tournaments, as well.
