Simon Watt of New Zealand bested 2,563 in Event #11 of the 2010 World Series of Poker, a $1,500 buy-in No Limit Hold'em event. Simon Watt was a winner in the Asian Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) of Pokerstars, and can now include a WSOP bracelet to his win with more than $600K in cash to go along with it.
Simon Watt also becomes the hero of the likes of Eli Elezra and Matt Matusow, who made a prop bet with Tom "durr" Dwan for one million dollars if Tom Dwan could win a WSOP bracelet throughout the 2010 World Series of Poker.
Well, Tom Dwan almost made it, but fell short at second place, making $380K, and still in danger of losing the million dollar prop bet to Mike Matusow and Eli Elezra among others. Tom Dwan was pretty disappointed with the loss in heads-up play, and walked out of the event pretty quickly, asking the tournament director if he could just return the next day for his stuff.
Finishing in third place was David Randall of Westerville, Ohio, taking home $270K.
In fourth place was Austin McCormick of Chesterfiled, Missouri, who won $194K.
Jason Young of Suffern, New York, finished at fifth and is $142K richer.
Michael Smith of Hiram, Georgia, made it to sixth place to win $105K.
Marvin Rettenmaier of Leonberg, Germany, finished seventh and won $78K.
Kyle Winter finished an eighth to take home $59K and Eric Ladny finished at ninth to win $45K.
