Brett Bader

Brett Bader topped the field in Event 26 here in Tampa to take home the top prize worth $60,440 along with the WPT Trophy. Here is what he had to say after taking home the trophy tonight: “It feels pretty good. I got super lucky there at the end, I got it in with two outs and drilled a six against two kings. I was short today, and things just went my way.”

“I chipped up really quick early on, and then at the final table I was short the whole time. And then I just started running good when we got five-handed. Two guys had three big blinds, and I only had 12 big blinds, and the chip leaders had like 35 each. I just waited for the short stacks to bust, and then I ran it up three-handed when I was the shortest stack. I guess things just went my way,” replied Bader when he was asked about his journey through the final day of the tournament.”

When he was asked about plans to celebrate and his experience at the Tampa property, Bader said, “I think I’m just going to drive back (to South Florida), get some food, and then celebrate tomorrow. I like that the pool is right next to the poker tournament, which is great, get some sunlight, and it’s great here,” said Bader.
