Congratulations to James Van Alstyne, Event #31 Champion!
In Event #21, $3,000 H.O.R.S.E., Van Alstyne went to battle with Zac Fellows, but came out in second place. Under five days later, he was right back in the final two of another mixed game event. His chip lead going into heads-up play was greater against the much shorter stacked Tad Jurgens. The buy in was also a little smaller this time around, but James was able to finish things off and come out victorious.
Once he grabbed hold of the chip lead, it was smooth sailing for Van Alstyne. He ran over his opponents with powerful play and strong hands en route to capturing his first World Series gold bracelet! Along with the bracelet comes nearly $250,000 in prize money to add to his already $3 million plus in career tournament earnings.
Congratulations to everyone and especially to the winner, James Van Alstyne. It was a victory well deserved.
