A big congratulations to Steve Gee who took home event 13 early this morning. Gee survived a massive field of 3042 players and grabbed the first prize of almost half a million dollars and his very first WSOP Bracelet. This was the second $1,000 buy-in No Limit Holdem event held at this year's WSOP. However, there are plenty of events with $1,000 buy-in to go (like this one - Event 13), so we will probably see even larger fields of players in the upcoming events.

Final table results:

1. Steve Gee - $472,479 (USA)
2. Matthew Vance - $292,232 (USA)
3. David Baker - $206,813 (USA)
4. Nicholas Heather - $149,702 (Ireland)
5. Jeffrey Gross - $109,621 (USA)
6. Daniel Thomas - $81,203 (USA)
7. Kyung Han - $60,833 (USA)
8. Jared Hamaby - $46,077 (USA)
9. Mats Gavatin $35,290 (Sweden)

The $1,000 No Limit Holdem event (Event 13) of 2010 WSOP attracted a huge field this time. Not less than 3042 players signed up for the tournament and created a huge prize pool - for being such a cheap event to enter. Anyhow, after a few days of poker, we have finally reached the final table. These are the 9 players who are going to battle for the first prize of $472,479.

1. David Baker, 2 553 000

2. Matthew Vance, 1 731 000

3. Steven Gee, 1 540 000
4. Nicholas Heather, 993 000
5. Kyung Han, 613 000
6. Daniel Thomas, 423 000
7. Jared Hamby, 423 000
8. Mats Gavatin, 393 000

9. Jeffrey Gross, 281 00

The payout structure is quite steep, so we can probably expect the final table to go on for long time. Good luck to the remaining 9 players!
