David Halpern Wins Event 53 - $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8-Or-Better ($159,390)

[user46392]

A relatively epic heads up battle with the chip lead dancing back and forth between our deserving two has finally been decided, and it is jovial New Orleans resident David Halpern who takes first prize and the coveted bracelet.

Three days ago Mr. Halpern attempted to buy into a cash game but it was full, so finding himself at a loose end and in the mood to play some poker, he bought himself into Event 53 instead on a last-minute whim. He's now converted his $1,500 and a dull afternoon into the highest accolade in poker, and will be taking home a nice bunch of money to go with it -- once he's finished drinking with his new buddy second place finisher William Kohler, of course.

Many congratulations to all of our Day 3 players, and from the Amazon Green Section, it's goodnight.
