The winner of the $3,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em championship was
Shankar Pillai, from Commack, NY. He is a 23-year-old aspiring poker pro, who
also spends much of his time working in investments. -- This was the first WSOP
event Pillai has ever entered. He won $527,829 and the gold bracelet. -- Dustin
Holmes arrived at the final table as the chip leader (and eventually exited in
fourth place). But from the start, all eyes were on superstar Phil Hellmuth,
Jr. The 11-time gold bracelet winner was gunning for number 12 and made things
interesting for a while. But he eventually busted out in 6th place. -- Perry
Friedman won a WSOP gold bracelet back in 2002. He exited in 7th place. -- One
of the most unusual hands of the year took place when play was nine-handed.
Three players moved in with premium cards. For the first time in memory, three
players were essentially "all in" with – A-A. A-A, and K-K. The two pocket
aces ended up splitting the pot. |
