Event 38 from 2009 World Series of Poker Tournament Recap
Limit Hold'Em typically does not attract as much attention as the No-Limit tournaments do, but 446 entrants were pitted against one another to play this type in event in Event 38. Marc Naalden won after three long days, snagging him the bracelet as well as $190,770 in prize money. Steven Crowley los to Naalden's two-pair queens on the last hand. Crowley tried to bluff, seeing a table with few possibilities, but his misjudgement led him to failure. Honorary mention goes to Ians Johns for taking third, with Phil Hellmuth sitting at seventeenth and Daniel Negreanu sitting in twenty-sixth. Big names don't always win tournaments, and Naalden has proven this fact by taking his first bracelet.
