#813 – 2009 WSOP #71 – Seen & Heard #20 – Nice Guys Finish First

Congratulations to Matt Hawrilenko for his fourth cash of the 2009 WSOP, his third final table, and most important, his first gold bracelet. Matt won the last event before the Championship, the $5,000 NLHE 6-handed. I’ve never actually met Matt, but I swear that every time I reveal that to someone – and it’s come up a lot this World Series – they say, “Really? Matt’s a really nice guy.”

And because Matt’s a nice guy, apologies on the generic picture. Because of the late finish, neither the WSOP nor Full Tilt has their pictures of Matt winning the event available as of the time of this post. Just imagine this picture with a much bigger smile and way more chips.
