James Dempsey Wins Pot-Limit - Event 9
Sitting eight hours at the final table is never easy, the Event 9, $1,500 pot-limit Hold 'em was a very strange tournament, many observers told it seemed more of a football game than a poker event, there was a lot of cheering, yelling and chanting. Mike Matusow (the mouth) was very annoyed by the noises made from the James Dempsey supporters when the English player accumulated a lot of chips. Dempsey's supporters cheers would be finally validated as the British player would go on to win an unbelievable World Series of Poker bracelet for his first time. The online poker player from Brighton, England defeated a total amount of 650 players in order to become the champion.
After Praz Bansi who won in Event 5 few days before Dempsey, was the first British player to get a bracelet in 2010 WSOP. The Brighton player became the second English winner at this 2010 WSOP winning the Event 9. J.P Kelly won the same tournament last year, making this the second year in a row this particular title heads overseas. So we can tell that in pot-limit events, British players have a lot of skills to put on the tables. Dempsey said, "It's special to win a WSOP tournament, but there's no reason why this winning should hold any edge of another tournament".
Dempsey spoke about the bracelets telling that all the tournaments are equal, "You play for money...", he said, so there are not differences between WSOP or another tournament with good prize. Poker players normally play for cash. Dumpsey said about the World Series of Poker that there is too much attention onto the WSOP bracelet. He told, "You can see people playing two or three events at the same time. It's simply stupid". Dempsey has six titles and 27 times got money from a tournament over the past five years. He earned a total amount of $197,470 for the winning in the Event 9 after he defeated Steve Chanthabouasy.
