Canada's Miguel Prouix has won the $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha at this year's World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Proulx's second career WSOP cash in event number 28 was worth $315,311, easily the biggest of his career.
From Cake Poker: "Despite its reputation as an action game, Pot-Limit Omaha can take a long time to play out, especially with a bracelet on the line. This tournament day was classic PLO in that regard, taking twelve hours to play down from 12 players to one. There were more nationalities represented than usual at this final table, with players from five different countries - Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States - all taking to the felt in search of their first WSOP bracelet.
"Michael Greco, a British actor best known for his 330-episode run as Beppe di Marco in the television series EastEnders, was one of the reasons the eliminations didn't get started sooner. Greco looked like he might be the first to go after coming in with the shortest stack. But after hitting a straight draw against Joerg Engels and then having his pair of aces hold up against Patrick Hanoteau's straight draw, Greco would cruise for some time. Hanoteau, meanwhile, would be the only player to leave before the dinner break, exiting in ninth place ($25,044)."
This is Prouix's second WSOP cashout, having won the Event #12 - WSOP No Limit Hold'em Short Handed. He walked away with a mere $4000 and some change in that one, finishing in 50th place.
