Día 4 completado
Just four days removed from his runner-up finish in Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout, 28-year-old Floridian Ben Zamani won his first WSOP bracelet.
It took an extra day to get it done, but Zamani came out on top of Event #20: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, collecting the WSOP hardware and a first-place prize of $460,640. In doing so, he also managed to keep the WSOP's female contingent from their first bracelet of the campaign, defeating Natasha Barbour heads-up.
The event saw five players return for an added fourth day Thursday with Zamani holding a chip lead he would relinquish early, but would reclaim heading into heads-up play.
On the final hand, he managed to make trip aces and pick off a Barbour bluff to secure the victory.
