Event # 56 of 2011 WSOP Won By Hasan Anter

Event 56: $1,500 No Limit Hold’em tournament attracted 3,389 people creating a gigantic prize pool of $4,575,150. This meant a whopping $777,928 for 1st place!
A number of pros that came to Vegas for the Main Event like David Pham, Mikhail Shalamov, and online superstar Andrew Lichtenberger. A couple big names went extremely deep like Gavin Smith and Andy Philachack who had to settle for his 3rd place consolation prize of $345,698. UB review will discuss exactly why UB is considered one of the best online poker websites in the business.

Haddad’s stack benefited a lot from busting Philachack, but he had a severe chip disadvantage heading into heads-up against Anter. UB.com as a website was redesigned with a layout and color scheme noticeably different from the one that Ultimate Bet had.

Hasan Anter ended up winning the last hand with a royal flush, which was definitely overkill but a fitting way to end the night.

Congratulations to Haddad for his 2nd place finish, which netted him an impressive $479,521. Even bigger congratulations to Anter,
who finished in 1st place for $777,928 and his first WSOP bracelet.
