2008 World Series of Poker

Congratulations to Marty Smyth, Champion of Event #50 ($859,532)

Marty Smyth had a raucous cheering section throughout the final table on the way to his win in Event No. 50 - $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. He bested a field of 381 competitors to take him his first WSOP gold bracelet and $859,532 in pocket money. He played admirably throughout what he called "the most stressful day" he can remember in a while. It was so stressful that he didn't know what a great situation he was in on the final hand.

"I didn't realize I had clubs," he said. "That's the God's honest truth."

Whether he realized it or not, clubs made Marty Smyth the champion of this event. Congratulations to him once again.
