And the pro’s get busted again…
The conclusion of this year’s WPT North American Poker Championship didn’t go to a pro, as anticipated during the earlier stages of the tournament. As the final table was set, odds were still in favour of the pros, as the majority of players were well-established names on the poker scene. But, the “shark vs. fish” advantage took an unexpected turn when it was a complete newcomer, Glen Witmer, who finally went heads up with Gavin Smith. To top it off, Witmer gave Smith a good run for his money, as it took forty hands to seal the deal. During the last hand, Smith pushed all in with pocket 5’s, but got busted by Witmer’s Bullets. Smith landed himself a considerable compensation though, having earned himself $532,545 for his second place finish. The newbie Witmer on the other hand, won a handsome $1,090,589, a desirable WPT title and the spotlight of the poker community.
