Congratulations to Peter Traply - Event No.41 Champion ($348,728)

In less than five hours of play we've reduced our final shootout table of five down to one Hungarian winner in the shape of Peter Traply.

This final was very aggressive from the get-go with most flops only being seen after a three-bet was called. [Removed:197] was responsible for setting this tone and looked odds on to dominate the table but he had pockets aces cracked by the eventual runner-up. Peter Traply played a great game throughout and took so many chips without having to showdown much at all.

His biggest challenge was to keep his mind focused after thinking he had won but after a recount it emerged Andrew Lichtenberger still had 250,000 chips. Soon those chips has doubled a few times to the chip lead but Traply held strong and saw off his formidable young opponent to claim his and Hungary's first WSOP bracelet.
