Alex Komaromi Wins Uruguay's First Bracelet in WSOP Europe 8-Game

Alex Komaromi became the first player from Uruguay to win a World Series of Poker bracelet Thursday, taking down Event #5: €2,200 8-Game Mixed Event at the WSOP Europe in Berlin, Germany.

Komaromi earned €65,740 and the most coveted prize in poker for his efforts, defeating a stacked final table including two-time WSOP bracelet winner and now five-time runner-up Scott Clements heads-up.

"I'm very excited," he told PokerNews. "It feels like a dream to me."

The final table of six began Wednesday with German mixed-game specialist Jens Lakemeier going from the chip lead to out following a bad run of cards.
