A big congratulations goes out to Keven “Stammdogg” Stammen, who took home the bracelet in Event no. 13 of the World Series of Poker.

The game? $2,500 No Limit Hold ‘Em, of course. The big win? $506,786.

This even marked day three of the WSOP. Twenty players started out, all of them competing for more than half a million bucks, the gold bracelet, and some serious bragging rights. The game only took around seven and a half hours from start to finish. At the end, only one man remained standing: Keven “Stammdogg” Stammen. This is Stammen’s very first World Series bracelet.

He was certainly facing some fierce competition. Among the twenty returning players were Kirill Gerasimov, Phil Ivey, and Roland de Wolfe. Sadly, all three of them fell fairly early in the game and it only took three hours for twenty to have been whittled down to ten.

Even then, Stammen’s victory wasn’t a sure thing. He was still competing against chip leader Bahador Ahmadi and Torrey Reily, who amazingly managed to play his short stack into an astounding six figure score.

Still, they all ultimately fell, and Stammdogg emerged victorious.
