won the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship to claim his second WSOP gold bracelet and the $245,451 first prize.
Just after 2 a.m. local time, Wattel hit a flush on seventh street and left his opponent with less than a big bet. His opponent was none other than Chris Ferguson. Ferguson needed a win to take over first place in the WSOP Player of the Year race. He was also looking for his first bracelet since 2003.
On the very next hand, Wattel got all in on third and Wattel would make kings up to knock out Ferguson after six hours of heads up play and win his second WSOP gold bracelet.
