One of the final $1,500 no-limit hold’em events on the 2014 World Series of Poker schedule attracted 2,396 entrants and created a total prize pool of $3,234,600.
After three days of action, it was 30-year-old Asi Moshe who finished with the title, the bracelet and the $582,321 first-place prize. This was Moshe’s second WSOP final table, after finishing in fifth place in a $1,500 event last year for $141,124.
“Maybe the best feeling of my life,” said Moshe. “One of the very few dreams that I really wanted to accomplish but didn’t think I really would, like going to the moon type of thing.”
Moshe’s victory was made even more impressive by the caliber of players he outlasted at the final table, such as Aaron Massey (3rd), Marc-Etienne McLaughlin (7th) and Tim West (8th).
Here is a look at the final table results.
