“It is a huge deal in this industry to have the bracelet. It is all about the bracelet, it is funny. I’m really, really glad to have a bracelet,” Ausmus told WSOP.com after the win. “I feel like I’ve done some things besides just make the [Main Event] final table. Some guys you just never hear from again and I think I’ve left my mark and now even more so.”
Ausmus topped a stacked final table that featured the likes of Jonathan Little (7th – €10,102), two-time PLO bracelet winner Jason Mercier (4th – €23,036), 2012 $10,000 WSOP PLO championship winner Jan-Peter Jachtmann (3rd – €31,367) and World Poker Tour champion Juha Helppi (2nd – €43,441). Helppi started the final day as the chip leader of the remaining six, with Ausmus close behind him. When they got down to heads-up, Helppi held just over a 2-to-1 chip advantage.
Ausmus was able to fight back and take a very slight chip lead when the final hand came down. With a flop of 1010

Ausmus bet 38,000 and Helppi raised to 80,00. Ausmus reraised to 140,000 and Helppi announced a re-pot, prompting a quick call from Ausmus who flipped up the A
