Humberto
takes the title WPO Champion
It
started 5 handed around 1 pm. First to
exit was David (Devilfish) Ulliott. Next
out was Robert Dreyfuss (K-K vs Erik's
A-K, Ace hit the flop) In third place
came Alex Papachatzakis. After it became
heads up both Erik and Humberto took a
break. Erik had circa 540K to Humberto's
860K. Rather anticlimactic after that.
A
couple highlights I remember was David
Ulliott after tapping out 5th and going
over to the money display to interview
with Phil Hellmuth Jr, sticking money
bale after money bale into his jacket.
Security guard came over during the interview
and frisked David to make sure he put
all the bales back. It was hilarious.
Also right in the middle of a hand when
there was still 3 left Mike Laing came
over to the table with two money bales
and wanting to buy in again saying he
wanted another chance.
It
was a great tournament overall. Everyone,
and I mean everyone was pleased with the
Gold Strike's and Horseshoe's 3rd annual
presentation. Most can't wait until next
year. I include myself in that number.
