After 3 days of play, Dave Shallow, from the UK, had accumulated a monstrous looking 6.1 million chips, almost 2 million more than the remaining field together! It was not a big surprise to anyone that he would be the one who took home the tournament, the first prize of €222,280 and a $25,000 seat in the WPT World Championships, which will be played at Bellagio next year.
The win is by far Dave Shallow's biggest in his poker career. But even though he's been playing extremely well and seems to be on a winning streak at the moment, he said in an interview after the win that he will take a break from poker for a while now and instead take care of his 7,5 month pregnant girlfriend. Let's hope the money will come in handy for Shallow and his family!
