When play started today Jeff Tebben was the short stack of our field and you wouldn't blame him if his goal was to merely try and climb up a pay jump or two. However from the time the first cards were in the air, until the last pot was pushed, Tebben was the most aggressive player at the table and clearly playing for the win. His approach ultimately paid off.
In the early stages he was able to build his stack by accumulating blinds and antes at will as he fearlessly moved his short stack into the middle. Once he got chips he became a real threat, and combined with some cards, it was a lethal combination for his opponents.
A fighting victory for Tebben over a massive field collects him $503,389 in prize money and the coveted gold bracelet.
That's a wrap from us, but stay locked into PokerNews as there are several other events in full swing around the Amazon and Pavillion Rooms here at the Rio this evening.
