Three more tournament results to bring you from the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, three more fascinating stories, and another win for Italy!


First up is Event #11 the $1,500 Limit Hold’em competition which was claimed by businessman Bob ‘Big Red’ Chalmers, who won through after a marathon nine hour final table battle.

The 56-year-old business consultant from Vancouver, British Columbia vanquished 700 challengers winning his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Chalmers’ extensive business background served him well at this final table.

“What I realized from playing at this final table is that it takes a lot of work to win,” Chalmers said in a post-tournament interview.
