In the WPT Ceremony of Champions at the Bellagio on April 21, the World Poker Tour will honor 96 champions from the six previous seasons of the tour.

In addition to misty retrospectives and platitudes, the WPT commissioned famed jewelers Tiffany & Co. to design a personalized titanium and diamond bracelet for each one of the champions.

What they came up with instead is something that the recipients will be able to add to their S&M collection along with their chokers, handcuffs and whips. Seriously, look at it (pictured above). Or, maybe they're really cool and we're just totally out of the loop. Pain is good, right?

"There are so many incredible stories to celebrate from the six World Poker Tour seasons and we are thrilled to pay tribute to each of our WPT Champions,” said WPT founder, president and CEO, Steve Lipscomb. “The championship bracelet has become synonymous with poker as a symbol of achievement and respect, and we are honored to continue the tradition that Benny Binion began over 30 years ago.”

Going forward, all future WPT champions will also receive a bracelet along with their cash winnings. If you want to have the honor of strapping one of these bad boys around your wrist (or not), then head over to the Bodog Poker room and check out the WPT online poker qualifiers.
