World Series Of Poker -- Michael Gathy Wins First Ever Turbo EventGathy Wins His Second Bracelet and Second For Belgium This Summer |
|
The winner of the World Series of Poker first-ever $1,000 turbo no-limit hold’em event was Michael Gathy.
Gathy, a 24-year-old professional poker player from Belgium, topped a field of 1,629 entrants and banked $278,613 along with his second career bracelet for winning the two-day event.
Gathy wanted to be the first Belgium player to win two WSOP bracelets but Davidi Kitai won his second earlier this month. He’s now set a new goal for himself.
“It’s bragging too much if I say ten [bracelets] or something like that,” Gathy said. “I’m not sure. I’ll say five is a good over/under.”
Jason Duval, who won $521,202 earlier this summer in the $1,500 no-limit hold’em event made the this final table finishing sixth. This moved him up to sixth place in the Card Player Player of the Year race.
Here’s a look at the final table results.
