Ted Gillis Wins Event #19: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em
Ted Gillis, a former U.S. marine from Houston, Texas, entered the final day of the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event third in chips (about 1.1 million). After a couple of long and slow hours of play, he had made it to the official final table - where players were eliminated rather quickly. Gillis had about 2/3 of the chips in play once he had eliminated Dejan Divkovic in third place.
Ted Gillis used his big stack well against John Hennigan, a two-time bracelet winner. The fact is that it was game over for Hennigan already after 27 hands of play...
Hennigan shoved his last remaining 1.3 million with Q
9
and Gillis made the call with the huge chip advantage. Gillis turned over A
6.
The board ran out 1010A7K and Hennigan had been eliminated in second place for $319,993.
Ted Gillis lifetime earnings prior to this event were only $10,538, so the $514,027 first-place prize will probably come in handy! Besides the prize money, he now has a gold coveted bracelet to his name - which is something that can earn you respect (and money) at the poker tables!
Final table results:
1st: Ted Gillis- $514,027
2nd: John Hennigan - $319,993
3rd: Dejan Divkovic- $222,429
4th: Jacobo Fernandez - $160,193
5th: Mustapha Kanit - $117,079
6th: Jaime Kaplan - $86,609
7th: Hiren Patel - $64,911
8th: Edison Shields - $49,267
9th: Dylan Thomassie - $37,834
