In the early hours of the morning, the 44 year old italian pro Max Pescatori had beaten the rest of the field and won WSOP event no.9, the $1500 Razz tournament and secured him his 3'rd career bracelet.
Pescatori, who is widely known in the poker community as "The Italian Pirate" won his first bracelet back in 2006 where he took down the $2.500 NLHE event and won $682.389. Two years later he took down his second bracelet in the $2.500 Pot Limit Hold'em/Omaha event where he added $246.509 to his bankroll.
After what some would call a major tournament drought, Pescatori is finally on top again after outlasting a tough 462 players field and a final table which included 2 time WSOP bracelet winner, Eli Elezra. Heads-up Pescatori eventually overcame Ryan Miller to win the title and add $155.947 to his career live tournament earnings, which now exceed $3.7m
