New 2008 Highlights
David Chiu won the WPT Championship at the Bellagio. It was the biggest victory of his career, and he beat out 545 other players and took home $3.3 million. He battled back from a shorstack during heads-up play against Gus Hansen, who had eighty percent of the chips. Chiu is a long time pro with 4 WSOP bracelets, but this is the biggest win of his career.
Gus Hansen played all the way to the heads up position for his fourth WPT title at the WPT Championship. He was an impressive former WPT champion and knocked out everyone at the final table except for Chiu. He brought home $1.7 million and furthured his reputation as a top player
Top pro Erik Seidel finally won his first WPT by taking down the Foxwoods Poker Classic. He beat an impressive field of 346 players to win just under a million dollars. He has won eight WSOP bracelets, but this is his first WPT win.
