Mike Matusow Takes Home Fourth WSOP Bracelet

Published on June 8th, 2013 7:13 pm EST

Mike "The Mouth" Matusow won the fourth World Series of Poker bracelet of his career last evening after taking down the $5,000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Low Split 8 or Better event. In addition to his fourth WSOP bracelet, Matusow also walked away with the first place prize of $266,503.

The path to his fourth World Series of Poker bracelet wasn't an easy one, as Matusow needed to navigate through a 210 entrant field that included many of the top players in the world. The final table was no different, as Matusow needed to get past the likes of Yuval Bronshtein, David Baker and Mike Leah in order to take down the tournament.

Here is how the final table of the event ended up finishing out:

1. Mike Matusow, $266,503
2. Matthew Ashton, $164,700
3. Mike Leah, $108,412
4. David "Bakes" Baker, $79,073
5. Yuval Bronshtein, $58,835
6. Tony Cousineau, $44,543
7. Gavin Smith, $34,268
8. Vladimir Shchemelev, $26,757
