Blair Rodman wins his first WSOP Bracelet, $2000 No Limit Hold’em event #47

Blair Rodman has been playing in events at the World Series of Poker since 1982 and has cashed but he has never taken home the gold. That all changed Sunday evening when he defeated Amato Galasso heads up in the $2000 No Limit Hold’em Event #47. Wearing his trademark “Kill Phil” cap and suffering from extreme fatigue, Rodman was surviving on the surge of adrenalin dumped into his system when the river card finally gave him the elusive victory. He takes away the coveted WSOP gold bracelet, A Corum watch and $707,898 in cash. Galasso picks up $448,808 for his second place effort.
