Winner of Event 39 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em

Over the course of three long days of poker, 2,714 players have come and gone. At the end of it all, one man is left standing with every chip in play, and that man is Ray Foley. A proud native of Michigan, Foley put on a poker clinic in this minefield of questionable play. He held the chip lead for much of Day 2, just narrowly being edged out for the top spot as play concluded. Facing a formidable final three tables, Foley continued to pick his way through the field, eventually eliminating Brandon Cantu to claim the bracelet and over $650,000 in prize money for his efforts.
