Ralph Rep Porter Wins 2008 WSOP Event #9
Late Saturday night Ralph 'Rep' Porter completed the final hand of the final table of event #9, a $1,500 Buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed affair that drew a field of 1,236 players and amassed a prize pool of $1,687,410. The hard fought win netted the Woodinville, Washington player the first place money totaling $372,929 and his first WSOP bracelet.
Second place went to Nathan Templeton along with $231,981 in cash and Devin Porter completed the top three and collected $151,842. Final table play lasted for 212 hands before only one player remained with chips and only three of those hands were played heads-up. That's all it took for Ralph Porter to eliminate Nathan Templeton. Congratulations are in order for the latest 2008 WSOP champion, Ralph 'Rep' Porter.
