roland-de-wolfe-bracelet-300x200.jpg Roland De Wolfe Union Jacked his way to a bracelet. The World Series of Poker final table for the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8 or Better (Event 27) was stacked with experienced players used to playing on the biggest of stages. But it would be Roland De Wolfe, sporting a Union Jack track jacket, that won his first WSOP bracelet and became only the second player ever to win poker’s triple crown - EPT title, WPT title and a WSOP bracelet Scott Clements, Alex Kravchenko, Andy Black and Brett Richey did what they could, but De Wolfe completed his trifecta and took home his first bracelet. Gavin Griffin is the only other player to win poker’s triple crown. The first to leave the feature table area for the short walk to the cashier’s cage was Anthony Lellouche. Clements raised from middle position and Lellouche called. The flop came Tclub.gif 8diamond.gif 6club.gif and Lellouched led out and Clements raised the pot and Lellouche called all-in. Clements held Adiamond.gif 9diamond.gif 7diamond.gif 2heart.gif for the nut high and a draw to the nut low. Lellouche held Aclub.gif Qspade.gif Tspade.gif 2diamond.gif and needed help, the turn was Tdiamond.gif which gave him some hope, but the Jheart.gif on the river was of no help. A short stacked Armando Ruiz raised to 56,000 and Richey raised enough to put Ruiz all-in. He called with Aheart.gif Qheart.gif 3heart.gif 2heart.gif and Richey was ahead with Aspade.gif Aclub.gif 9diamond.gif 7club.gif. The board ran Kdiamond.gif Kclub.gif 8diamond.gif 8spade.gif Jspade.gif and Ruiz’s day was over with an 8th place finish. John Racener bet 40,000 on a flop of Tclub.gif 4club.gif 2heart.gif and Robert Campbell called. A 9heart.gif came on the turn and Racener moved in with the rest of his stack and Campbell with live cards - Aheart.gif 7heart.gif 3club.gif 2spade.gif. Racener was ahead with Aclub.gif 3diamond.gif 9spade.gif 8club.gif and the 3heart.gif on the river completed Campbell’s flush and gave him a better low. Campbell scooped the pot and Racener was out in 7th place. A rather quiet Black raised the pot, which was most of his chips, and Campbell reraised to put Black all-in. Black called and tabled Adiamond.gif Aheart.gif 4diamond.gif 3heart.gif and Cambell showed Aspade.gif Aclub.gif 5spade.gif 4heart.gif. They went to the flop with almost identical hands and the board ran Qspade.gif Jspade.gif 9diamond.gif 7club.gif 6spade.gif which gave Campbell a flush on the river. Black collected over $42,000 for his 6th place finish. Clements had nearly half the chips in play and called Kravchenko’s preflop all-in. Clements held Aspade.gif 9spade.gif 7heart.gif 5heart.gif and Kravchenko held 8spade.gif 7spade.gif5club.gif4club.gif. The board bricked for Kravchenko with Jspade.gif Tclub.gif 5diamond.gif Kdiamond.gif 6club.gif and Clements won the pot with only a pair of fives. Kravchenko was never able to gain any momentum and ended the day in 5th place. Campbell bet 140,00 on a flop of 7spade.gif 5club.gif 3club.gif and De Wolfe called. Campbell moved in on the 4heart.gif turn and De Wolfe called with Aspade.gif 9diamond.gif 7heart.gif 6spade.gif. Campbell was behind and needed a club to stay alive, but the 8spade.gif on the river gave the whole pot to De Wolfe and Campbell was out in 4th place. Clements, who some some consider the best tournament Omaha player on the planet, looked to be sailing smooth and in complete control of the final table. But Clements raised to 80,000 and De Wolfe reraised the pot. Then Clements re-pots with another raise only to have De Wolfe move all-in. The Brit showed Aspade.gif 2club.gif 2spade.gif 3club.gif and Clements tabled Adiamond.gif Aheart.gif 5spade.gif 4spade.gif. The board ran Qclub.gif Jclub.gif 9spade.gif 6spade.gif 7spade.gif giving De Wolfe the flush and the chip lead. Only a few moments later, Clements raised the size of pot and De Wolfe called. The flop came 9heart.gif 7club.gif 2club.gif and again Clements potted. De Wolfe reraised the pot and Clements moved all-in. De Wolfe held Aclub.gif 9club.gif 8heart.gif 3spade.gif and Clements held Adiamond.gif Aheart.gif 6diamond.gif 4diamond.gif. The turn was the 5heart.gif, which gave De Wolfe the low and the river was Kclub.gif which scooped the pot for De Wolfe. Clements lost the largest pot of the tournament, about 2,500,000, and was eliminated in 3rd place. Richey raised preflop and De Wolfe called to see a flop of Tclub.gif 8club.gif 4diamond.gif. De Wolfe checked and Richey bet, and then De Wolfe raised the pot and Richey went all in. De Wolfe was ahead with Adiamond.gif Qclub.gif 8diamond.gif 4heart.gif and Richey held Qdiamond.gif Jspade.gif Theart.gif 9heart.gif for top pair and a straight draw. The turn and river came 2spade.gif Aheart.gif and De Wolfe won his first WSOP bracelet. Final Table Payouts for $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8 or Better
