NEWS FLASH Jeff Tebben Wins WSOP Gold Bracelet in Event 24
Missouri Amateur Inspired by Grant Hinkle’s 2009 Victory – Wins His Own Gold Bracelet in 2010
Jeff Tebben was the winner of the $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em championship at the 2010 World Series of Poker. This marked Tebben’s first career WSOP gold bracelet victory. His triumph was inspired by close friend Grant Hinkle, who won a victory at last year’s WSOP. Hinkle, who plays in Tebben’s home poker game in suburban Kansas City, encouraged his friend to come to Las Vegas and enter a few events at this year’s series. The venture paid off handsomely, to the tune of $503,389 for first place.
Tebben is a 39-year-old married father of two children. He sells medical supplies in and around the Kansas City area. Prior to this tournament, Tebben had one lone cash at a WSOP Circuit, which paid $882 at Horseshoe Council Bluffs (Iowa).
The third $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em tournament on this year’s schedule drew another huge field, as there were 3,289 entries. Every weekend three huge No-Limit Hold’em events are played. Most Fridays include a $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em tournament. A $1,000 buy-in event takes place on Saturday and Sunday (two flights/starting days). Each Monday includes another $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em event. All Day One starting times are noon.
The previous $1,000 buy-in events were won by Aadam Daya, from Toronto, Ontario (Event #3) and Steve Gee, from Sacramento, CA (Event #13).
A full report of this event will be posted shortly.
