Michael Davis wins 2009 WSOP Seniors Event
Michael Davis had to out think, outplay, and outlast a record field of 2,707 senior poker players vying for a piece of record prize pool totaling $2,463,370. The top 270 finishers received some of the money. Davis apparently had a game plan that he followed to play a steady game and make it into the money, then secure a seat at the final table, and finally push hard for the win. The plan worked and Davis now has a cherished WSOP World Champion bracelet plus $437,358 in walk around money.
Second place finisher, Scott Buller, relinquished the final table chip lead he enjoyed for most of the day on the first hand of heads-up when Davis doubled through. A few minutes later Buller was shaking the hand of the new champion. Scott Buller's second place finish fattened his play bank by $268,507. Barry Bounds left with $179,210 after being eliminated in the third spot.
Congratulations to all the seniors that participated in this historic event and especially those players making the money. A special congrats to the latest WSOP World Champion, Michael Davis.
