2013 WSOP Event 61


Monday July 8,2013 : Daniel Alaei celebrated the fourth World Series of Poker bracelet in his impressive career as a poker pro, besting 385 opponents to win event 61 – the $10,000 buy-in Pot Limit Omaha competition.
 
His reward was that fourth bracelet and $852,692 in cash as he repeated his 2010 success in the same event.
 
On the final day of the event 32 survivors took over six-and-a-half hours to play down to a final table comprising Alaei and Jared Bleznick, James Weise, Tom Marchese, Numit Agrawal, Gjergj Sinishtaj, Sean Dempsey, Rory Rees Brennan and Alex Kravchenko.
 
The heads saw Alaei pitted against Jared Bleznick, and the fireworks started almost immediately as the two went all-in on the first hand, and Alaei came out on top to win the event, sending Bleznick home with a consolatory $526,625.
