Brendan Shiller took home the top prize worth $50,330 along with the WPT Trophy at the end of Day 2 in Event 28. The final three bagged up late last night at 4 am, and Shiller fought his way back from the short stack to claim the title this evening down in the Poker Room in Tampa.
Here is what he had to say right after the win: “It feels kind of good, it’s always nice to win a title, so that’s really cool, I like it.”
“My life is a celebration. I don’t know what I will do tonight, but I always have a good time, and I like being around other people. I like being generous with my time and talking with people so I’m sure I will have something fun to do tonight,” said Shiller when he was asked about his plans to celebrate later this evening.
Shiller continued, “the social aspect of the game is one of the things that attracts me to poker, but it is also the challenge of staying patient and disciplined.
“I just got very, very lucky. I came into the final three as the short stack. I sucked out a lot, I got very lucky,” said Shiller when he was asked about his journey on the final day of the tournament.
“The WPT always runs a really good tournament, and they brought out some big guns to be the tournament directors, and they’ve got some really good people and dealers that travel with them. I needed to win this (laughs). I fired some bullets in the $2,200, the $1,700, and in the Main, and I didn’t cash in any of them, but hey, we’re ahead now” said Shiller about his overall tournament experience at this series.
