Though table 10 may now be empty, there's certainly no shortage of empty glasses up at the Vegas Bar as Mike Shklover and his entourage celebrate his breakthrough victory!
Shklover, AKA "NYC P.I.M.P." is not a newcomer to the game of poker, having registered several small in-the-money finishes since 2005, including an impressive 24th place in the 2010 WSOP $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event, as well as 39th place in the $2,500 Pot Limit Hold'em/Omaha Mixed event the same year.
Shklover faced a stellar final table and while he started in the middle of the pack, he was able to wear down his opponents with well-timed aggression and clever strategy, all while keeping a smile on his face.
Let's face it - Omaha is a frustrating game and it can make even the best of us go on tilt in an instant, but Shklover handled the pressure beautifully. Congratulations Mike, enjoy your win - and a tip of the hat to all of our other final table contenders, particularly to David Ewing and Graeme Putt, who both started the day as the two short stacks and courageously fought back to take second and third place respectively.
