David woo is a pro poker player, and he will always have in his mind yesterday as the first massive moment in his career, it was the day he scooped his 1st WSOP solid gold bracelet. Woo with this win scooped a massive $631,550 in cash at the 39th match of the 2008 WSOP. Even though it was not an easy match.

Strangely the $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Holdem match got the 2nd largest amount of players at the WSOP 2008 so far. There were 2,722 players which amassed a prize of $3,712,800 which in turn let the runners of the show distribute the prize money to 270 poker players, but it was David woo who made it count.

There was a pro called Thom Werthmann who began the final day of event 39 in the chip lead on the 3 day match with 1,600,021 in chips compared to Woo’s 1,090,010, even though Thom Werthmann has won a bracelet in the past at the wsop he failed to impress on his early work and came in a disappointing 5th. You have to be really lucky to win at the 3 day events or have the skill of the best poker players in the world to complete everything and win, but then again the wsop would not give away at bracelet!!
