Event 12 – Seniors Champion Seth Bobet

While Day 2 of the WSOP Circuit Main Event played out in the background, the Seniors event attracted a massive field of 532 entries, creating a total prizepool worth $106,400. And the last player standing was Seth Bobet of Orlando, Florida.

Two of Bobet’s close friends were on the rail for the final table, and they exploded in celebration when Bobet won the final hand. This is not only the first WSOP Circuit ring for Bobet, but the $16,354 he won is the biggest cash of his career.

“It feels really good,” said Bobet thru exuberant laughter. “The final table was awesome. I just got lucky. I got some good hands. The last one, I got six-two and just went for the ring.”

Bobet ended his interview with praise for his heads-up opponent, James Gladwell.

“He played a heck of a game,” said Bobet. “He got his money in good, but I got lucky.”

1st:  Seth Bobet  –  $16,354 + WSOP Circuit ring

John Dwyer
John Dwyer flopped a set of queens to crack kings in the final hand of the night.

In the final hand of the night, John Dwyer raised from middle position to 65,000, Jason Klapman reraised from the small blind to 215,000, and chipleader Isaac Kempton tanked for a long time in the big blind before he folded.

Dwyer quickly called with QsQc, and Klapman turned over KhKc. (Kempton breathed a big sigh of relief.)

But there was a queen in the window as the board came AdQh7h8d10s, giving Dwyer a set of queens and a double-up in the final hand of the night.

John Dwyer  –  1,390,000  (46 bb)
Jason Klapman  –  365,000  (12 bb)

Russell Waggoner was all in preflop with 9h9c, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Serge Dergham’s AhKs.
