EVENT #35 | 2,500 MIXED
HOLD'EM (LIMIT, NO-LIMIT) |
393 ENTRIES | 894K PRIZEPOOL
Christopher Tryba (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 25th) is one of the good guys of poker, so it's no surprise that so many people were happy to find Tryba accepting his first WSOP bracelet on Wednesday.
Tryba won the Mixed Hold'Em event in fine fashion, spiking a straight-flush on the river on the very first hand of heads-up play against fellow poker pro Erik Cajelais (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 26th).
It was an impressive fifth final table already this summer for Phil Ivey (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 5th) ... not much more can be said about Ivey except "please, please, please, tell us you'll take one of the few remaining spots for One Drop?"
After collecting his first bracelet earlier this summer, Michael Gathy (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 11th) was fifth in this event.
Salman Behbehami, Joep van den Bijgaart, Samuel Golbuff, Brent Wheeler, Jeremy Ausmus, James Dempsey, Andre Akkari, Shannon Shorr and Mike Scarborough were other notables in the Final 18.
