Is a Three-Decade Old Rematch in the Cards?
Level 4
: 300/600, 75 ante
Three decades ago Artie Cobb, who we told you a bit about earlier, took down the first of his four bracelets in the 1983 World Series of Poker Event #3 Limit Seven Card Stud Hi-Low. That event attracted 104 entries, which created a prize pool of $104,000.
Cobb defeated a young David Singer, who many remember as the 2003 WSOP Main Event ninth-place finisher, to capture that bracelet and the $52,000 first-place prize.
Both men are in today��s field, though they��re not seated together. We��re kind of hoping they might find themselves at the same table later in the tournament for an old-fashioned rematch. Only time will tell if that happens, but we��ll definitely be looking for it.
Here��s a look at that final table from 1983:
| Place | Player | Winnings |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Artie Cobb | $52,000 |
| 2nd | David Singer | $20,800 |
| 3rd | Bill McCullogh | $10,400 |
| 4th | Gil Quantz | $6,240 |
| 5th | Johnny Moss | $4,160 |
| 6th | Pete Spotti | $4,160 |
| 7th | Arley Gann | $3,120 |
| 8th | Bob Schroder | $2,080 |
