Tournament Notes:
-- The winner was Gary Styczynski from Pearl River, New York. He is 42-years-old and is a part-time consultant and
poker player. He is married and has two children.
-- Styczynski arrived at the final table with the dominant stack. He had nearly half of the total chips in play when eight-
handed play began. It took him about four hours to win this final battle and take home his first WSOP gold bracelet.
-- The new poker champ has never cashed previously at the WSOP. However, he did cash three times at a recent
poker tournament held at the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.
-- Event #6 marked the debut of the nearly-live simulcast on the official WSOP website – www.worldseriesofpoker.com.
For the first time in history, the entire final table was broadcast with hole cards seen by the home audience. Expert
commentary was provided by poker pro Brian Wilson (who won a WSOP gold bracelet in 2005) and ESPN’s Howard
David (who is normally the radio voice of Monday Night Football).
-- The WSOP has certainly entered the high-tech age. For the first time ever, all of the final table competitors were
sequestered behind a large tent. There was no live audience – again another WSOP first. All spectators were in
cyberspace watching over the Internet. Given the wide reach of the Internet and popularity of the official WSOP
website, this final table is – at least for the moment – the most widely watched “live” poker tournament ever.
-- Some things cannot be made up. The seventh-place finisher was a man who won $14 million in the Canadian
Lottery. His name is Michael Banks.
-- Noted poker author and theorist David Sklansky finished 13th in this event. Sklansky, the author of numerous books
and generally regarded as the supreme poker and gaming intellect in the business, owns three WSOP gold bracelets
(technically, he owns two WSOP gold watches, which was the top prize at the 1982 WSOP instead of bracelets). This
event was his best WSOP finish in six years (he finished fifth in an event back in 2001).
-- James Graham finished in fifth-place. He won a WSOP gold bracelet last year.
-- The eighth-place finisher was Pete O’Donnell. He quit his job to play poker for a living and moved to Las Vegas just
two weeks ago. His new career is off to a good tart, to the tune of $22,359 in prize money.

WSOP GOLD BRACELET WINNER
EVENT #6 GARY STYCZYNSKI
The winner was Gary Styczynski from Pearl River, New York. He is 42-years-old and is a part-time consultant and
poker player. He is married and has two children.
Styczynski arrived at the final table of the $1,500 buy-in Limit Hold'em championship with the dominant stack. He had
nearly half of the total chips in play when eight-handed play began. It took him about four hours to win this final battle
and take home his first WSOP gold bracelet. Incredibly, the new poker champ had never cashed previously at the
WSOP. However, he did cash three times at a recent poker tournament held at the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.
First place paid $280,718. However, Styczynski may best be remembered as the first player ever in WSOP history to
have all of his hole cards revealed to a viewing audience.
Event #6 marked the debut of the nearly-live simulcast on the official WSOP website www.worldseriesofpoker.com. For
the first time in history, the entire final table was broadcast with hole cards seen by the home audience. Expert
commentary was provided by poker pro Brian Wilson (who won a WSOP gold bracelet in 2005) and ESPN's Howard
David (who is normally the radio voice of Monday Night Football).
The WSOP has certainly entered the high-tech age. For the first time ever, all of the final table competitors were
sequestered behind a large tent. There was no live audience again another WSOP first. All spectators were in
cyberspace watching over the Internet. Given the wide reach of the Internet and popularity of the official WSOP
website, this final table is at least for the moment ?the most widely watched "live" poker tournament ever.
