Last Year's Runner-Up Seeking Redemption

When it comes to poker players, it is hard to find a player who specializes in limit hold’em; however, that is exactly what we have in our chip leader, Dan Idema, who finished runner-up in this very event last year for $263,243. Idema has three other WSOP cashes including one just a couple of weeks ago in Event #6 $1,500 Limit Hold’em (23rd- $6,096), a 16th-place finish in the 2010 Event #53 $1,500 Limit Hold’em Shotout ($4,135), and a 7th-place finish in the 2010 Event #44 $2,500 Mixed Hold’em event ($35,601).

As you can see, Idema is well versed in limit hold’em and no doubt looking to capture the coveted title that slipped his grasp just one year ago.
