Event #19: $3,000 Limit Hold'em Six-Handed resumed on Tuesday with 22 players returning from the starting field of 319. After a grueling 12 hours, including 256 hands at the final table, Matt Elsby emerged victorious to claim his first WSOP gold bracelet.

"Whoever stays the most focused and plays the best consistently usually does the best," said Elsby afterward. "This was my third (WSOP) Limit Hold'em final table and I finally got one (bracelet) now. I thought I was going to win the last one ($1,500 Limit Hold'em in 2011), but I donked and finished fifth, so this one's a lot better."

Notable finishes included Brian Hastings (7th - $21,684), Keven Stammen (8th - 21,684), Matt Hawrilenko (11th - $12,209), David Chiu (14th - $9,501), Ronnie Bardah (16th - $9,501), Randal Flowers (20th - $7,567), and Jorryt van Hoof (22nd - $7,567).
