Corrie Wunstel and Kevin ��BeLOWaBOVe�� Saul met up to determine who would claim the first bracelet of his career, and Wunstel emerged the victor after a short heads-up battle, taking down Event #36: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha for $267,435.
Wunstel, a Lousiana native, was known mainly for his accomplishments on the WSOP Circuit, where he had amassed 23 cashes for $120,286 and one ring. In 2013, he made a deep run in the Main Event, finishing 65th for $102,102, his biggest cash to date before this win.
He entered the unscheduled Day 4 with a chip lead of 4.55 million to Saul's 2.785 million, but with blinds starting at 60,000/120,000, it was still anyone's game. Saul grabbed control early on and had the tournament in his grasp when he called Wunstel's shove with a nut straight on fourth street, only to have Wunstel's set turn into a full house when the board paired on the river.
Saul managed one double before Wunstel finished him off with a nut straight against Saul's second-nut straight.
