Chris Tryba has won the Mixed Hold’em event at the 2012 WSOP.

Tryba defeated a man who already has a gold bracelet to his credit, Erik Cajelais, with a straight flush.  The event came to an abrupt halt when Cajelais shoved all-in on the river holding the nut straight only to have Tryba give a smile and a nod before calling, screaming out to his fans on the rail, "Straight flush, baby!"

Tryba collects $210,107 and his first gold bracelet for the victory at a fast-paced final table that saw the field cut from nine to a winner in the span of just over five hours.  The Las Vegas poker pro has been a presence at the WSOP since 2003.  This was his third career WSOP final table. His previous final table appearances were both in Stud events.
