WSOP -- Richard Austin Wins Event No. 35Austin Knocks Out Two In Final Hand |
|
In a nice tune-up for next week’s WSOP world championship pot-limit Omaha event, the $5,000 tournament drew in a sizeable field of 363 players. The winner was Richard Austin, a poker player from Jeffersonville, Indiana. Curiously, Austin refused to be interviewed after his victory and even declined to take part in the bracelet ceremony for the following day, making him the only player to do so. Every other 2009 bracelet winner has agreed to the presentation, even the sometimes elusive Phil Ivey.
The final table was loaded with professionals, including runner-up Sorel “Imper1ium” Mizzi, online legend Cliff “Johnny Bax” Josephy and Peter “Apathy” Jetten.
The tournament ended with a dramatic double-elimination, the details of which are available below.
