|
Poker veteran Chris Bell won event No. 46 ($5,000 pot-limit Omaha 8 or better) at around 5:30 a.m. PDT Monday at the 2010 World Series of Poker.
Bell entered in fifth chip-position out of the 21 that were remaining to start the final day. However, he slowly fell down the chip counts and was a severe short stack when play was six handed.
Bell remained focused and regained traction. He eventually squared off with fellow poker veteran Daniel Shak for a lengthy heads-up battle.
Bell prevailed and with the win pocketed $327,040 to go along with his first career WSOP bracelet. His fourth WSOP final table brings his career earnings to $2,194,299.
Joining Bell at the final table were bracelet winners David Ulliott, Rob Hollink, Perry Green and Erik Seidel. For awhile Seidel look poised to capture his ninth title, but eventually fizzled out in fifth.
Here are the final results:
1. Chris Bell — $327,040
