Winner of Event 51 - $1,500 H.O.R.S.E.

James Schaaf, from Torrance, CA, was down to only 200 chips earlier in this tournament. Schaaf managed to come back from nearly being felted to win the entire event. Schaaf managed to dodge a bracelet-mad Phil Hellmuth along the way to win it all, and takes home $256,412 and the dazzling WSOP bracelet.
