Thu Jul 02 2009Winner of Event 53 - $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8-or-better
Three days ago Mr. David Halpern attempted to buy into a cash game but it was full, so finding himself at a loose end and in the mood to play some poker, he bought himself into Event 53 instead on a last-minute whim. He's since converted his $1,500 and a dull afternoon into the highest accolade in poker, and will be taking home a nice bunch of money to go with it -- once he's finished drinking with his new buddy second place finisher William Kohler, of course. Congratulations, David!
