Poker Players Championship Rewind: 2007 - Freddy Deeb
The second installment of the then $50,000 World Championship H.O.R.S.E. saw 148 players again take a seat in the world's biggest buy-in tournament at the time, and with it saw a prize pool of $7,104,000 created.
Mike Matusow, Chris Reslock, Greg Raymer, Thien Phan, Stephen Wolff, Mark Gregorich, Dewey Tomko, and Gabe Kaplan all reached the money, but it would be another stacked final table created.
Compared to the previous year, there was a little bit of International spice sprinkled among the final eight as Europe and the Middle East had representatives. Two of those would reach heads-up play as Freddy Deeb battled Frenchman Bruno Fitoussi. When the dust settled, it would be Deeb collecting his second WSOP bracelet and the biggest first prize of his career even to this date at $2,276,832.
