Starved out of online poker opportunities, US players unsurprisingly flocked to Vegas by the thousands this summer. They accounted for 78,165 out of the total 82,360 entries. American players won $141,689,749 - 2.5 times the earnings of ALL other countries combined. Furthermore, they won a record 52 out of 64 bracelets. And yet, none of them managed a double win. For the first time in the 21st century, the United States did not have a multiple bracelet winner in a single WSOP.
This is the only category where the first place is held by a national of another country and namely, Germany's @George Danzer who won #WSOP2014 Events 38 and 18. In fact, #GermanPoker had an excellent summer, considering the extraordinary WSOP performance of @Dominik Nitsche, as well:
