Durrr will have to wait another day for his first WSOP bracelet - the chip leader heading into the final day of his tournament, Tom Dwan couldn't seal the deal - still, a very respectable second place finsih for Dwan.
In the end, New Zealand Simon Watt outlasted Dwan, one of the best poker players in the world today. In 2009, Watt (who's a software developer by day) won the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Main Event in his hometown of Auckland. He becomes the first ever New Zealander to win a bracelet at the WSOP.
