On the ninth day of the 2011 WSOP one of the cheaper events has found its winner. Most WSOP events have a buy in greater than a thousand dollars, but there are plenty of those as well. In the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, final table poker players were eliminated until just Sadan Turker and Sean Getzwiller were left in a heads up battle. In the end it was Getzwiller who won the World Series of Poker bracelet and $611,185 in prize money, his first such victory in his poker career.
