On Saturday night, Sarasota, Florida's Barry Hutter took down the 2015 World Series of Poker Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout in Las Vegas, collecting his first bracelet and vaulting himself into 2015 GPI WSOP Player of the Year contention.
"It's always good to close one out and this is a pretty good one to win," he said. "I've had a lot of chances to close out some big tournaments and I finally got one, so this will kind of be a landmark in my poker career."
The $283,546 win marked Hutter's 13th WSOP cash lifetime and third of the 2015 WSOP, including a 13th-place finish in the $10,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship and a 14th-place finish in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
