BIOGRRAPHY
Joe Pelton, 29 year old, from Newport Beach, CA said he felt good about the structure of
this tournament. “$20,000 in starting chips and 90 minute rounds gave me a lot of time
to find good spots and play hard.” said Pelton. He thought the tournament was run very
smoothly and felt comfortable playing the long hours. Joe noted that he was fortunate to
get good hands and good flops at the final table. Perhaps he was being a little too
humble, I think he played some aggressive/winning poker and that, combined with some
good cards and flops, won him the championship. Joe has not decided yet what he would
do with all the money. He was just focused on winning a tournament, not thinking about
the money until I just asked. He appeared well-focused throughout the entire final table.
Congrats to Joe and we’ll see you at the WPT Championship Event at Bellagio where you
just won a $25,000 entry on top of the $1.5M+ prize money.
