Poker pro Alex Livingston had a hell of a week after winning a coveted WSOP bracelet, but disaster apparently struck soon after.

The Canadian said on his Twitter account on Wednesday that the World Series of Poker bracelet he won on June 7 in a $1,500 seven-card stud event is now gone. It was his first career bracelet.

According to Livingston, who finished third in 2019 WSOP Main Event at $10,000 buy-in for $4 million, he could have dropped it or left it on a table somewhere in the casino.

$200 to return it to Parisian table 143, possibly in or around the cafe, or possibly one or more vacant tables in the Main Ballroom

Livingston won the top prize of $103,282 in the aforementioned stud tournament. This prize money is safe – he just lost the ceremonial bracelet. He would have kept looking for it, but he had to come back to another tournament he had already participated in. To help him come back, the 35-year-old offered a $200 reward.

The bracelet itself is valuable, but it’s a relatively small amount. It’s mostly a sentimental price, although some poker players over the years have sold theirs for various reasons.

As one poker player suggested to Livingston on Twitter: check the pawnshops?

UPDATE

Good news for Livingston, the bracelet has been located!

The bracelet was found and returned by security, thank you all for the retweets and the help. Shout out to my haters and trolls in the comments. And yes, I’m an idiot https://t.co/Hgso0kUSDF
