Canadian hockey pro turned professional poker player Daniel Idema joined the ranks of the three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winners club Friday afternoon, taking down Event #35: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E.
"I ran pretty good, I thought I played pretty good, and I beat a tremendous human being heads up, so it feels good," Idema said. "I think the first one was a bit more of a prize personally, but this feels great."
The event returned for a fourth day Friday with just three players remaining. Idema first busted Kevin Iacofano in third and appeared to steamroll heads-up foe Matt Vengrin for the win.
