Alan Smurfit, winner WSOP $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha w/rebuys Event #33

The longest heads-up match to date at the 2007 WSOP played deep into the night before a champion was crowned in the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha w/rebuys Event #33. Alan Smurfit and Qushqar Morad traded chips throughout the marathon event often resulting in both players having just enough checks to make the next antes and blinds; then, the short stack would climb out of the hole and continue. The end finally came when Alan Smurfit put Qushqar Morad all-in and the flop offered no help for Morad to give Smurfit the win. Alan Smurfit goes home with a Corum watch, the WSOP bracelet and $464,867 in cash. Qushqar Morad walks away with second place and $279,595.
