Michael Banducci Wins 2008 WSOP Event #5
Michael Banducci picked up his first WSOP gold bracelet and $636,736 in cash for his win in WSOP Event #5. Banducci, from Traverse City, Michigan, defeated Jeff Williams in heads-up play at the ESPN feature TV table shortly after midnight when his pocket A-J trumped Williams' A-5. Michael Banducci is no stranger to major poker tournament action and has cashed a number of times ; but, this is his greatest poker achievement to date. Congratulations to Michael for his first WSOP jewelry.
Jeff Williams will return to his home in Dunwoody, Georgia with an extra $406,330 in the bank account for his second place finish. Peter Gould finished in third place and pocketed $245,993.
