Andrew Cohen reacts to the river that sealed his quest of a WSOP gold bracelet
Andrew Cohen, an employee of the N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms Las Vegas, took down the first gold WSOP bracelet of the 2009 tournament. Two days of marathon play reduced the field of 866 to this moment when Cohen's pocket sixes held up and he was the champion. Andrew Cohen received $83,778 in cash, a Corum watch and the gold WSOP bracelet, the greatest prize in all of poker.
Casey Kuhn finished second for $51,778 and Grant Yasui completed the top three to receive $33,923. Stephanie Donahue of the Normandie Casino in LA was the last women to be eliminated.
