Congratulations to Jordan Smith, Winner of Event 36 - $2,000 No Limit Hold'em ($586,212)

It took three gruelling and hard-slogged days of poker and a seven hour final table to crown Jordan Smith as the Event 36 - $2,000 No Limit Hold'em Champion! Another giant field of 1,695 competitors contained some of the toughest players to grace the circuit including Kathy Liebert, Joe Sebok, Andy Black and David 'Chino' Rheem.

However once the final table was formed early this evening, it was one of the most evenly stacked final tables in history with Pat Atchison firmly on top. Two women also made the final nine with chess champion Almira Skripchenko exiting in seventh and professional poker player Laurence Grondin bowing out in third place. In the end it would be Jordan Smith taking a slight advantage into heads-up play against Ken Lennaard.

The two battled it out in a see-sawing affair with the chip lead trading hands at several occasions. When Smith took the strong advantage with a rivered nut-straight to Lennaard's second nut-straight it seemed all but over. Lennaard battled back before being flushed out of the tournament in second place when his top-pair and flush draw was unable to improve. For Smith's great showing of patience, skill and selected aggressiveness he will walk away with $586,212 in prizemoney, the title of champion and most importantly the coveted gold bracelet.

Congratulations to Jordan Smith for taking down Event 36, and make sure to stay dialled in to PokerNews as the remainder of the 2009 WSOP unravels right here!

Result 1.Jeffrey Lisandro $431,656 2.Farzad Rouhani $266,804 3.Mike Wattel $176,605 4.Francis Mariani $124,684 5.Yan Chen $93,513 6.Abraham Mosseri $74,258 7.Doyle Brunson $62,234 8.Justin Smith $54,896 9.Anthony Rivera $41,885 10.Perry Friedman $41,885 11.Scotty Nguyen $33,668

Congratulations to Jeff Lisandro, Event #37 Champion!

The final table of Event #37, $10,000 World Championship Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8-or- better, seemed like it was never going to end, but finally it has. Just over three and a half hours after entering heads-up play, Jeff "Iceman" Lisandro has emerged victorious over Farzad Rouhani.

When play got down to the final two contestants, Lisandro was behind, but fought back to regain the chip lead through winning numerous small pots. From there, he hammered on Rouhani over and over to grind him down to almost nothing. After a few all-ins and some chopped pots, it seemed only a matter of time before Lisandro would close the deal. Lisandro claims his second gold bracelet of this year's World Series of Poker and further proves that he is one of the best seven-card stud players in the game. Along with his bracelet comes a nice hefty payday of over $430,000. Lisandro has earned over half a million dollars at this year's WSOP already.

Congratulations to Jeff Lisandro on winning Event #37 and claiming his second gold WSOP bracelet this year!

Über World Series of Poker (WSOP):

Die World Series of Poker, oder kurz WSOP, ist eine Reihe von Pokerturnieren, die jedes Jahr in Las Vegas ausgetragen werden.

Die World Series of Poker finden jährlich im Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas statt.

Die World Series of Poker ist die grösste und prestigeträchtigste Pokerveranstaltung der Welt. Mit einer umfassenden Liste von Turnieren in allen wichtigen Pokervarianten ist die WSOP das am längsten laufende Pokerturnier der Welt und geht auf das Jahr 1970 zurück.

Darüber hinaus hat die WSOP bahnbrechende Allianzen in den Bereichen Rundfunk, digitale Medien und Unternehmenssponsoring gebildet und die Marke mit der Einführung der WSOP Europe im Jahr 2007 und der WSOP Asia-Pacific im Jahr 2013 sowie der WSOP International Circuit Series im Jahr 2015 erfolgreich international ausgebaut.

Ursprünglich wurden die Tourniere in Las Vegas Downtown im Binion's Horseshoe Casino ausgetragen. Im Jahre 2005 kaufte Caesars den Brand WSOP. Seit diesem Datum werden die Pokermeisterschaften im Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino durchgeführt.
