Martin Klaser Wins 2008 WSOP Event #43
Eric Seidel was looking for his ninth WSOP bracelet Thursday evening but soon found himself out in fourth place in this quickly moving event. This was one of the shorter final table playing sessions at this year's WSOP, somewhat unusual for a pot-limit split game. Event #43 was taken down by first time bracelet winner Martin Klaser playing at his very first WSOP final table. Martin continued to play a brutally aggressive game of raises and re-raises to methodically intimidate and eliminate the other players.
Martin Klaser goes home with the gold and $216,249 in cash. Second place finisher, Casey Kastle, walks away with $137,985 and Michael Fetter receives $83,538 for third. Eric Seidel collected $68,304 on his way to the rail.
Congratulations to Martin Klaser for winning the 2008 WSOP $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event.
