Edward "Dub" Dixon - Event #11 Winner
Edward "Dub" Dixon took down Event #11: $365 No-Limit Hold'em (1 Re- Entry). The Detroit, Michigan native walked away with $10,163 and his first World Series of Poker gold ring.
When the unofficial table was reached, all ten finalists were fairly close in chips. Dixon sat with a middle-of-the-pack stack, but did not take long to chip up. Eventually it boiled down to Dixon and TM Williams. The two players are well acquainted from their time spent traveling the Circuit.
It was a hard-fought battle, but in the end, Williams fell just short of his first gold ring. Another unfortunate casualty of Williams placement was the Casino Championship. The Poker Pro finished with an astounding three final table appearances at the Horseshoe Council Bluffs series, accumulating a total of 90 points. A first-place finish would have secured him enough points to reign as the Casino Champ.
Dixon ultimately played the spoiler, but came away with a redemption victory of his own. The fun-loving Poker Pro now has 12 cashes on the WSOP Circuit. His last cash happened less than a month ago when he finished as the runner-up of Event #11 at the Hard Rock Tulsa Circuit. This time around Dixon did not settle for anything less than number one.
