Canadian businessman takes top prize in Limit Hold'em championship, earns
$258,344
Las Vegas, NV - Those who have never played poker for big
money often fail to appreciate the physical and emotional sacrifice that it
takes to win. Winning poker is work, not play. Unfortunately, television
frequently portrays poker as an effortless game. There are no clocks which
display the drawn-out passage of time. Hundreds of arduous hands are edited
out. The players' mental and physical dexterity is impossible to calculate.
Bob Chalmers embodies the type of player who approaches poker as a test
of both will and patience. The 56-year-old business consultant from Vancouver,
British Columbia vanquished 700 challengers in the $1,500 buy-in Limit Hold'em
world championship. Chalmers, nicknamed "Big Red" for his distinctive
auburn-tinged crest, won his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet.
Chalmers' extensive business background served him well at this final table.
