Congratulations to Andrew Cohen - Event 1 Champion ($83,778)

Victorious Andrew Cohen
Victorious Andrew Cohen
After a very long couple of days battle here in the Amazon Room in The Rio we have our first bracelet winner of the 2009 WSOP. We started yesterday with 866 players and made it down to eighty-one by the end of play on Day 1.

Today those players returned and played down to a winner. It took nearly twelve hours, but we finally got there. Andrew Cohen was near the top of the chip counts the whole day and kept his calm at the final table, as others around him were moving up and down in chips.

By the time he made it to heads up, he had a commanding lead that he managed to keep and knock his opponent out when all the chips went in. PokerNews congratulates a worthy winner.
