“Downtown” Chad Brown Awarded Honorary World Series of Poker Bracelet

The integrity, honor and friendship of Chad Brown was recognized today by WSOP officials.

In a special bracelet ceremony at the World Series of Poker, Team PokerStars Pro and popular poker pro Chad Brown was officially awarded an honorary WSOP bracelet for his contributions to the game of poker.

Brown, who is battling what is deemed to be a case of terminal cancer, may have had his health recently taken a turn for the worse leading WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel to break the news to the attentive audience that it seems likely that Brown will not have the opportunity to play poker in a tournament setting again.

Earlier in the series, friend of Chad’s, actor and poker player James Woods had mentioned the idea of an honorary bracelet, with Chad in mind. It seems like the organizers of the WSOP got on board with the touching idea.
