Michael Spegal won $252,290 for first place. He overcame a decisive
chip advantage. He was arrived sixth in the chip count going into the final
table, versus several top pros. He overcame the odds and won his first gold
bracelet in what was his first-ever cash at the WSOP. This is his third year to
play at the WSOP. On this night of his victory, Michael Spegal was celebrating
his ninth wedding anniversary. His wife Jeanne sat at ringside and celebrated
their win. "She can have the prize money. I'll take the bracelet," Spegal
joked. ESPN commentator Norman Chad ribbed Spegal during the post-tournament
interview, noting "You are the only married man I know of who gets to play
poker on his anniversary." |
