Jason Daly took down this bracelet event last year in Las Vegas, beating out a field of 263 players to win $165,250. Brent Mutter from the United States came in second place for $102,132.
"It means a lot," Daly said when asked about his win. "On the grind, I moved out to Vegas when I was 21, and that didn't work out. I'm 41 now, so I've come full circle. It's the first limit hold'em tournament I've ever played, so it's pretty cool."
