WSOP Winner in a New York State-of-Mind After Defeating Men "the Master"
Jeffrey Papola was the winner of the $5,000 buy-in Six-Handed No-Limit Hold’em championship at the 2010 World Series of Poker. This marked his first career WSOP gold bracelet victory. Papola came close to achieving his first WSOP victory a few days ago when he finished second in the $2,500 buy-in Six-Handed No-Limit Hold’em championship (Event #26). He earned $391,068 for that outstanding effort, and then incredibly managed to top that performance off with a thrilling comeback victory. First place paid $667,433, plus the most coveted prize in poker.
The $5,000 buy-in short-handed tournament drew a strong field of 568 players. The top 54 finishers collected prize money. Former WSOP gold bracelet finishers who cashed in this event included – Men "the Master" Nguyen (2nd), Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott (19th), Matthew Graham (26th), Toto Leonidas (46th), and Eric Baldwin (50th), and David Singer (54th-tie).
