David WargaDavid Warga (pictured left) navigated through a tough final table featuring notables David Levi, Karina Jett and Allen Bari to win event no. 27 ($1,500 Seven-Card Stud 8-or-better). It was Warga’s second career WSOP bracelet, his first coming in 2002 when he won the casino employees limit hold’em event.

The three-day event saw 644 players register, accumulating a prize pool of $869,400. There were 64 places paid and notables who managed to cash included John D’Agostino (62nd), Phil Ivey (52nd) and Scott Clements (41st).

Warga entered the final day of the event sixth in chips with 23 players remaining. He stuck around the pack and saw notables Blair Rodman (14th) and Brandon Cantu (17th) hit the rail shy of the final table.

It took five hours to play down to the final table and Warga was the second shortest stack when they began play. He stuck around and even knocked out David Levi to get down to heads-up play against Maxwell Troy. Warga had a 5-1 chip lead and disposed of Troy rather quickly, the final hand seeing Warga’s two pair best Troy’s pair of tens.
