Matt Hawrilenko

Fri Jul 03 2009

Winner of Event 56 - $5,000 Six-handed No Limit Hold'em

After three long days of intense, high-action, short-handed no-limit hold'em, it ended in a flash as Matt "Hoss_TBF" Hawrilenko defeated Josh Brikis heads up in just four hands to take Event No. 56, the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event. After a dozen WSOP cashes and four final tables, Hawrilenko has now finally broken through to win his first WSOP gold bracelet -- and the last one to be awarded this summer -- while also taking home a whopping $1,003,163.
