Chris Harris - Winner of Event #1: $365 No-Limit Hold'em
It took over a year for Chris Harris over a get the monkey off his back at the World Series of Poker, but he's finally done it with a win in Event #1 at the Horseshoe Baltimore.
"It's a mix of emotions where it's kind of surreal but then at the same time, I'm just really proud," Harris said about his victory. "When I got deep in both tournaments last year in the circuit, it was funny that I placed 13th both times. All my friends were just teasing me about it. So it was definitely a monkey on my back."
Harris didn't give up though, he kept fighting, weathering the hardships, knowing that he had the skills to take down a tournament.
"I told everyone I definitely have the skill to win one of these things and I know one day I'm gonna be a champ," he said. "I just kept trying and trying. To finally take this win, it's surreal, but I always knew it would happen."
Most of the day was easy going for Harris as well.
"I wasn't short stacked at all during the tournament so I felt pretty confident the whole way and I just brought it home," he said.
Despite two 13th place finishes, Harris embraced the number, wearing it like a badge of honor.
"I wore my lucky 13 shirt," Harris explained, showing off his shirt branded with the number thirteen. "I got this after my two 13th places. I said, I gotta wear it going into this tournament and sure enough, it was lucky."
For his victory, Harris takes home $14,012, as well as his first World Series of Poker Circuit Ring.
