Closing stages on Saturday was Event #33, $2,500 Pot Limit Hold’em/Omaha. Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Jose-Luis Velador has only finished it to the final table of a WSOP tournament twice; both times, he’s came out as the champion. Velador outlived former WPT Championship winner David Chiu heads-up. In the pair’s final hand, Chiu called all-in with A-10 on a flop of 6-3-2 for ace-high with Velador showed 7-6 for top pair. A running 9-J locked the second bracelet win and $260,000 payday for Velador, while Chiu was deprived of his fifth WSOP title.

On his second piece of hardware, Velador informed tournament officials, “It means a lot to me. I mean, any bracelet is constantly going to mean a lot – particularly beating so many tough players. This was a very rough final table.” In fact, the finale had three gold bracelet winners: Rob Hollink, Veladorand Chiu. Hollink, who nabbed the 2005 European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte Carlo Grand Final in Monaco, finished third on Saturday and banked $116,000.
