Charles Hook's 20th-place finish in the Triton Invitational earlier this year must have whetted his appetite for WSOP bracelet success. As at the next opportunity, he's secured a maiden title in Event #13: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller.
He topped a star-studded final table that featured the Hungarian pair of Andras Nemeth and Laszlo Bujtas, seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Josh Arieh, and high roller stalwarts Stephen Chidwick and Jason Koon.
Hook then defeated Michael Moncek heads-up, denying Texas Mike a third bracelet, to come out on top of a 115-player field.

Final Day Action
Andras Nemeth led the final 25 players into Day 2, but with just 17 places paid, no one wanted to go home empty-handed. Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu both fell short, and play finally went hand-for-hand two away from the money bubble owing to the pace of play.
Dirk Gerritse was eliminated before Artur Martirosian eliminated Andreas Torbergsen to lock up the $105,000 min-cash.
Others who took home money include Martin Kabrhel (16th - $105,000), Jason Mercier (15th - $105,000), Yuri Dzivielevski (14th - $105,000) and Jesse Lonis, who went home in tenth place ($110,000), one short of the final table.
By now Lautaro Guerra led the way but was under pressure early by Josh Arieh. However, the chip lead traded hands between the remaining players, so much so that Guerra was next out, followed by Jason Koon and Laszlo Bujtas.
Arieh would fall just a handful of places short of an eighth bracelet, with Stephen Chidwick flaming out in fourth. There began extended three-handed play between Nemeth, Michael Moncek and Charles Hook.
The trio traded doubles before Nemeth finally fell in third place, leaving Moncek eyeing up a third WSOP bracelet to deny Hook his first who led 9.1 million to 7.8 million.
It wouldn't take long for Moncek to level the stacks and double into the lead. However, Hook battled back and in spit of another Moncek double, would close out victory for his first WSOP bracelet
