A Look Back at the 2009 Poker Player’s Championship
Level 3
For the first time in four year, the 2009 Poker Player's Championship wasn't slated to be aired on television. The result was the smallest turnout to date, just 95 players who created a $4,560,000 prize pool. With that said, we're sure David Bach didn't mind as he still took home a healthy first-place prize of $1,276,806.
