Congratulations to Peter Traply - Event No.41 Champion ($348,728)

In less than five hours of play we've reduced our final shootout table of five down to one Hungarian winner in the shape of Peter Traply. This final was very aggressive from the get-go with most flops only being seen after a three-bet was called.

Nasr El Nasr was responsible for setting this tone and looked odds on to dominate the table but he had pockets aces cracked by the eventual runner-up.

Peter Traply played a great game throughout and took so many chips without having to showdown much at all. His biggest challenge was to keep his mind focused after thinking he had won but after a recount it emerged Andrew Lichtenberger still had 250,000 chips. Soon those chips has doubled a few times to the chip lead but Traply held strong and saw off his formidable young opponent to claim his and Hungary's first WSOP bracelet.

Jerrod Ankenman

Result 1.Jerrod Ankenman $241,654 2.Sergey Altbregin $149,341 3.Chris Klodnicki $97,896 4.Jeff Tims $67,848 5.Jon Turner $49,568 6.Eric Crain $38,074 7.Layne Flack $30,673 8.Dario (Ryu) Alioto $25,860 9.Jimmy Fricke $18,099 10.Adam Friedman $18,099

Congratulations to Jerrod Ankenman, Event No. 42 Champion!

Heads-up play began at about 10:30 PM after the elimination of Chris Klodnicki in 3rd place. The chip stacks were about even for the match up, but once the first round of Omaha/8 kicked in, Ankenman was in full gear and began pulling away with each hand. Then, on a few hands in the Stud variant games, it became clear that Ankenman had the edge in the limit games.

Ankenman admitted in his post-tournament interview that he wanted to get into limit games, specifically the flop limit games, with Altbregin because he felt those were his strengths. Back in 2006, Ankenman placed second to Ian Johns in a $3,000 Limit Hold'em Event at the WSOP. That finish did earn him over $150,000, but the gold bracelet proved to be just out of his reach. Two years later in 2008, he placed second in another WSOP event, $10,000 World Championship Limit Hold'em, behind Rob Hollink. That score netted him over $300,000, but once again the gold bracelet eluded him. This time around, Ankenman wouldn't let things get away from him.

The first-place prize money of $241,637 is nice, but the gold bracelet he finally earned after working so hard is much more the prize that will be remembered from this victory. When asked about it he said, "Those finishes were a little bit bittersweet. It's nice to finally win the bracelet." Ankenman began playing poker casually at the Commerce before taking the game more seriously alongside friend Bill Chen. The two would go on to coauthor The Mathematics of Poker. Chen was around to watch his buddy win the bracelet and even jumped in on some of the photos with him. Thanks again for following our coverage and we'll be looking forward to seeing you again shortly. In the mean time, be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live WSOP coverage. Congratulations to Jerrod Ankenman on winning his first WSOP gold bracelet!



Seniors NL Hold’em World Championship (Event 43)
Monday, June 22, 2009 to Wednesday, June 24, 2009 Buy-in: $1,000 Prizepool: $2,463,700 Entries: 2,707

Result 1. Michael Davis 2. Scott Buller 3. Barry Bounds 4. Michael Morusty 5. Charles Simon 6. Dan DeLatorre 7. Richard McCall 0 8. Ted Garner 9. Robert Beck 10. Art Duncan

Congratulations to Michael Davis, Winner of Event No. 43! Michael Davis didn't have a big stack for most of the day, but that didn't matter. He played deliberate poker, picked his spots, and was the last man standing at the end of the night. Davis earned the Seniors Championship title and WSOP bracelet after a brief heads-up battle with Scott Buller, who had been chip leader for much of the final table. In fact, he didn't take the chip lead in the match until about 10 minutes before the final hand, when he doubled up through Buller on the first hand of heads-up play.

After playing his winning hand, Davis commented that he had just sold his business last week. "I was wondering if I had to go home and find another job, but I guess that doesn't matter right now," Davis said as he was surrounded by family and friends. Davis earned $437,358 and a WSOP bracelet for his performance.
