In a tournament filled with some of the biggest stars in poker, it was a player who is quickly establishing a reputation as one of them who came out on top.
Alexandre Vuilleumeir of Switzerland, who dedicated himself to tournaments just over a year ago, conquered a field of 207 of the toughest opponents in the game to win Event #2: $25,000 High Roller 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em, his first World Series of Poker bracelet, and $1,215,864 top prize, at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas
“
Obviously, the World Series is just fantastic,” the newly-crowned champion said after defeating Chance Kornuth heads-up. “To win a bracelet is just the epitome of a poker career for sure."
