2007 WSOP Event #7

Event #7 Pot-Limit Omaha With Re-Buys

Buy-In: $5,000

Number of Entries: 145

Total Prize Money: $2,891,000

Date of Tournament: June 4-6, 2007

Tournament Notes:

The winner was Burt Boutin from Henderson, Nevada. Boutin is originally from Pennsylvania. He was (and remains) a highly-successful stock trader when he is not playing poker. Boutin is 39-years-old. He has three children.

With this victory, Boutin officially became the 77th WSOP Millionaire in history. He has now won over $1 million at the WSOP dating back to his first cash in 1999.

This was Boutins second WSOP gold bracelet. He previously won the $1,500 Pot-Limit Holdem tournament back in 2001. That was also his first WSOP cash.

By odd coincidence, Boutin won his first WSOP title by defeating David DevilFish Ulliot in heads-up play. Six years later at this final table, Boutin was all-in against DevilFish with his tournament life on the line. He spiked a nine for a straight and dashed Ulliots hopes for revenge. The DevilFish ended up going out in third place. He was forced to watch history repeat itself, as Boutin took the top prize.

This was the richest pot-limit Omaha tournament in history, by far. The total prize pool amounted to nearly $3 million. First place paid $825,956.

The top 18 money list read like a Whos Who of poker. Ten of the final 18 players hold WSOP gold bracelets. The final table of nine players included a combined seven former gold bracelets previously won

John Juanda (with 3 wins), Humberto Brenes (with 2 wins), Burt Boutin (win one win), and David DevilFish Ulliot (with one win)

The final table will be telecast by ESPN, most likely in July or August. The air date has yet to be determined.
