 "It is the equivalent of winning the Stanley Cup in hockey or the Lombardi Trophy in football."
 Since their introduction, a poker player's success has been measured by the number of bracelets they had won.
 With introduction of the WPT bracelet, the WPT hopes to capitalize on the prestige of winning poker bracelets.
