Newsblog: E9 FT $1500 NLHE Six Handed

Now the coverage to the event 9 of this year's World Series of Poker. Take a look at the final table:

John Conkright 997,000
Michiel Brummelhuis 883,000
Rep Porter 732,000
Nathan Templeton 449,000
Devin Porter 357,000
Anthony Shilyuk 310,000

Leading to this final table, the most successful player was clearly Devin Porter, as he had already two WSOP final tables and two major cashes at tournaments like Mirage Poker Showdown and the Ultimatebet Poker classic.

The other good guy was Ralph "Rep" Porter, who has a little story with the WSOP, had three cashes in last year's WSOP, including a cash in the main event. All the others were not very known in the poker scene.

The final table, even with only 6 guys, took more than eight hours to finish. It was a long day for anyone who wanted that bracelet. The winner of the whole event was Rep Porter. He was running good since day 1, when he was one of the 10 chipleaders by the end of that day. On day two, he was the only one of those 10 Day 1 leaders who made it to the final table. So there is no one deserving that bracelet more than he did. 2nd place was Nathan Templeton, who played a really brief heads-up with him. It didn' last more than 5 hands. In the final hand, Porter had KQo, that managed to hold against Tepmleton's K9o.

Congrat's to Rep Porter, it was also his second in the money finish in this world series. He won his first bracelet and earned $372,843. There are lots of first time bracelet winners this year, we all hope they keep coming

Final results:

1.Ralph "Rep" Porter $372,843
2.Nathan Templeton $231,982
3.Devin Porter $151,843
4.John Conkright $101,228
5.Anatoly Shilyuk $70,860
6.Michael Brummelhuis $53,314
