Der World Series of Poker Stammgast Tom Koral gewinnt nach 13 Jahren, 53 Cashes und fünf Final Tables sein erstes Bracelet beim $1.500 Seven Card Stud Turnier. Der Fokus für die deutschsprachige Community lag aber auf Alexander Freund, er kam mit 206.000 Chips zurück an den Final Table und hatte gute Chance auf das Bracelet.
Leider wurde es am Ende nur Rang 4. für $29.102 Preisgeld. Im Heads-Up saßen sich Koral und Tsong Lin gegenüber, Lin musste sich jedoch wie bereits erwähnt über Platz Zwei und ein Preisgeld in Höhe von $59.894 zufrieden geben. Neben Freund kam noch Bernard Rygol aus Deutschland ins Geld, er belegte Platz 26. für $2.745 Preisgeld.
Tom Koral darf sich neben seinem ersten Bracelet über einen Scheck von $96.907 freuen.
