Afterwards Roland admitted that he had probably played less than an hours PLO8 in his life, "I had played Pot-Limit Omaha and Limit 08 so I just tried to mix the two together!"
De Wolfe said he learnt a lot from watching Clements and Richey on the final, he felt he was the least experienced three-handed and had to gamble more because he wouldn't be able to chip away at the other two.
On winning the WSOP bracelet to go with his WPT and EPT wins, Roland called it, "The missing link," claiming he was much more nervous than either of his other big title wins.
Finally, he said he would definitely be back tomorrow to start playing again!
Congratulations to Roland de Wolfe, winner of Event #27!
