Congratulations to Jorg Peisert, Winner of Event No. 52!
Peisert began the day with 477,000 chips and sixth in chips. As the day wore on, he never seemed to be in jeopardy of busting out and won most, if not all, of the key hands he was involved in. One by one, players from the final table were busting out, but Peisert kept climbing the ranks. He won one big hand by making his eventual heads-up opponent Jason DeWitt muck to move to over two million chips and then took another big pot off Michael Katz to move to over three million in chips. Once over three million, Peisert never looked back.
When play got down to heads up, Peisert held a massive lead with the majority of chips in play. A few hands later, it was all said and done with DeWitt coming in second place. For the win, Peisert earned himself $506,800 and his first WSOP gold bracelet!
