Andy Frankenburger, the player who held the chip lead at final table of the 2010 World Poker Tour Legends of Poker won the Main Event. It was Frankenburger's first major tournament win, for which he was rewarded with $750,000.
I'm just in shock right now, Frankenburger said just after winning the event, which was held at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles.
Thanks to his aggressive game play, the winner of the $5,000 buy-in event, outlasted a total field of 462 players. The winner admitted he was very nervous during the tournament especially because the match was recorded to television and his cards were visible to the public.
It's a whole different game when you have that pocket cam. It's just a completely different experience. I'm used to being the only one who is ever going to know what I was doing so, there's a sense of, let's not do anything really stupid and I almost did that
but I guess it worked out in the end, said the New York Stock Trader Andy Frankenberger.
Below are the final table results and payouts:
1: Andrew Frankenberger $750,000;
2: Kyle Wilson $370,000;
3: Tom Lee $174,772;
4: Tom Braband $109,000;
5: Jared Jaffee $86,000;
6: Franco Brunetti $63,000.
The next stop of the 2010 World Poker Tour is the London Poker Classic, which will run from the 30th of August until the 5th of September at the Palm Beach Casino in Mayfair.
