Key
Facts |
155 places paid. Vos,
a college student-turned-poker player from Brisbane became only the third
Australian national ever to win an event at the World Series of Poker. He joins
former Aussie champs Gary Benson (1996 -- Seven-Card Stud) and Joe Hachem (2005
- championship event) in the trifecta of poker winners from down
under.
After two long days of play, the final table on Day Three started
with nine players, including 2001 world poker champion Carlos Mortensen. Vos
arrived a distant second in the chip count to Kevin Peterson, a poker pro from
the Dallas area. by Nolan Dalla |
