Belgian takes down a WSOP event

June 24, 2008

In a slow day for final tables at the World Series of Poker, Belgium’s David Kitai won Event No. 38, $2,000 Pot-Limit Hold’em $2,000 and the first prize of $244,546.

Lee Watkinson and Robert Cheung were both at the final table seeking their second WSOP bracelet, but both came up short.

Heads-up play between Kitai and runner-up Chris Bell was an epic affair, with 187 hands played over five hours before Kitai finally knocked off a short-stacked Bell at the end.

One final table is scheduled for today, Event No. 39, one of the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em events. Thom Werthmann will be in search of his second bracelet.
