The winner of the "Seven-Card
Stud World Championship" at the 2007 World Series of Poker is Chris Reslock. He
is originally from Chicago, IL. Reslock, now 58, lives and plays poker for a
living in Atlantic City, NJ. Before turning to poker for most of his income,
Reslock was a licensed taxi driver. About ten years ago, Reslock started
playing $10-20 hold'em games in Atlantic City casinos. He started making more
money at the poker table than as a driver. So, with confidence he could make it
as a pro, he quit driving and started to play poker full-time. Reslock's
breakthrough tournament win was in 2003 at the "Showdown at the Sands" in
Atlantic City. In 2005, he won the WSOP Circuit championship at the Atlantic
City Showboat (good for $335K). That event was televised by ESPN. With the win,
he qualified to play in the 2006 Tournament of Champions in Las Vegas. He took
fourth place in that tournament (netting $150,000), which was filled with
former champions. Reslock won his first WSOP gold bracelet after finishing in
the money four times. First place paid $258,453. The runner-up was poker
superstar Phil Ivey. He fell just short of capturing his sixth WSOP gold
bracelet. This was Ivey's 26th lifetime cash at the WSOP. At age 31, he is the
youngest player to reach that mark in WSOP history. |
