The shootout events at the World Series of online Poker continue to grow in popularity, primarily due to the fact online poker players engage in single-table tournaments all the time. To win Event 22, the $1,500 no-limit hold 'em shootout, which attracted a young field of 999 players, a player would need to win three single-table tournaments to claim the title. Jeff Carris, a 23-year-old professional online poker Bet player from Wadsworth, Ohio, outplayed his opponents and won his first WSOP bracelet and $313,673.
Carris had support behind him with his parents flying in and a large crowd of fans helping the "Wildcat" to victory. He moved to Las Vegas only two years ago and has played professionally since. Carris has one other WSOP cash for $4,559 for finishing in 138th place in a $1,500 no-limit hold 'em event in 2008.
The final table of this event consisted of no former WSOP bracelet holders and it was the ninth time that this has occurred during the 2009 WSOP. Making the money, but not the final table, was Tony Cousineau, who holds the record for most WSOP cashes (38) without a title.
