Daniel Santoro wins WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals

It will be almost certainly the biggest trophy of the World Poker, and from this morning Daniel Santoro sees his name appears on the list of players who won the WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals. Tournament marked by controversy at the time of the Bubble.

The Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut, received the $ 10,000 first leg of Season # 10 World Poker Tour. In the previous edition were 242 participants this year and although the records are available up to the second level of play on Day 2, only 189 players entered this tournament. Of these only 27 were entitled to prize, a prize pool totaling $ 1,778,300.

This tournament was marked by the controversial decision of the board of the tournament at the end of Day 3. This was the third day começaco with 66 players and as I said earlier only 27 would get the prize. The day was nearing its end, when the tournament director announced the contest of the last four hands. Played the four hands, and once Alistair Melville had become very short and was at that time the button (the two hands so the BB), the management decided to extend the tournament a few more hands, so that the Bubble burst in the hands of amateur .

Jason Mercier was the first person to bring this story to light, saying it was a shame that professional players have been taken advantage of the inexperience of Alistair, who would be entitled to Redraw for Day 4, and ended up losing on Day 3 which should already has ended.

Mercier said that this tournament had many errors by the management and pondered not to participate in tournaments this Casino.
