Internet poker qualifier Todd Witteles has won the $3,000 Buy In
Limit Hold’em Tournament and collected a $347,385 1st place cash
prize at the 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP). Although Todd, a
Las Vegas resident, has been playing online at InterPoker.com for some time this
was his first World Series of Poker, and he now has an envious WSOP
record.

Having taken 3rd place and $115,810 in Event 4 he then went on
to take the $350,000 first prize and coveted WSOP Bracelet. Two
events, two final tables and one bracelet is a record any poker
player can be proud of.

InterPoker has a total of 46 players competing in this year’s
WSOP, with 37 preparing for next week’s $10,000 buy in No Limit
Texas Hold ‘em main event. The total prize pool for that event is
over $50,000,000, with first place netting $7,500,000. That makes
it the richest sporting prize in world history.

The WSOP is the world’s most prestigious poker contest in the
world, and sees 5,600 players competing for the coveted gold
bracelet at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
