Van Alstyne was happy to win his first WSOP gold bracelet, after coming in second in the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. just days earlier:
"It feels really good to win. Last time, I was a little bit disappointed. Also, you do not want to have the chip lead when we get down to two players and then not win. With closing this out, I feel a sense of relief," he said after the tournament.
