Event 27 of WSOP
UK poker pro, Roland De Wolfe, was triumphant at the $5,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo Split 8 or better event. He is the second player in poker tournament history to win the European Tour, World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour titles. Only Gavin Griffin has matched that record.
The 27th event of WSOP saw 198 players register, which included the likes of Andy Black, Scott Clements, Antony Lellouche and Alex Kravchenko. The field had generated a prize pool of $470,000.
Scott Clements, Roland De Wolfe, Brett Richey, Robert Campbell, Alex Kravchenko, Andy Black, John Racener, Armando Ruiz and Anthony Lellouche took to the felts at the final table.
Scott Clements started final table play in the chip lead but only managed a third placing finish for $101,063, paving the way for heads up between Roland De Wolfe and Brett Richey, with the former holding an impressive 4 to 1 chip lead over his opponent. The contest concluded quickly. De Wolfe took his first bracelet, the honor of holding three major titles in a year and $246,616 in prize winnings. Richey collected $152,618 for his efforts.
