Wsop Event 31 Final Results


Tuesday June 21,2011 : Event 31: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha saw an exciting 5am finish in its third day, with Sam Stein emerging as a tired but happy winner of a bracelet and $420,802.
 
The day had started with 25 survivors from an original field of 685, taking three hours to reach a final table when Tex Barch was busted out, leaving only Brock Parker as a previous bracelet winner in the field, and Ben Lamb holding the lead.
 
Stein built up sufficient momentum to challenge Ben Lamb in the heads up, having started fifth lowest in chips on the final table but coming into the heads up with a 2 to 1 advantage over Lamb as the contest ground on, raising concerns in some quarters that a fourth day might be required to finalise the event.
 
However, that was not the case; Sam Stein proved he had the right stuff and the right cards, and claimed the victory, leaving Lamb with a runner up consolation of $259,918.
