One of poker's most prestigious annual events came to a close early Friday morning at the 2013 World Series of Poker. British poker pro Matthew Ashton took down Event #55: The $50,000 Poker Players' Championship after outlasting a tough final table that included John Hennigan, David Benyamine, George Danzer, Jonathan Duhamel, and eventual runner-up Don Nguyen. It was Ashton's fourth final table of the WSOP this year and vaulted him into the top spot of the WSOP Player of the Year race past Daniel Negreanu.
Four other events were scattered around the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino on Thursday. A winner was determined in Event #56: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em, while Event #57: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em and Event #59: $2,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball played down to final tables. The second Day 1 starting flight of Event #58: $1,111 Little One for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em took saw 2,523 hit the felt, creating a total field of 4,746 between the two Day 1s.

I don't know. I didn't really speak to him much, I thought he was a nice guy, but a weird, quiet guy if you know what I mean. He had that autistic savant vibe to him. I actually seen him last week and was thinking about talking to him about poker, but didn't because I don't know him very well. If i see him again I'm going to though.
