Wednesday, Jun 17, 2009 2009 WSOP - Leo Wolpert Wins Event 29, $10,000 World Championship Heads Up No Limit Hold'em

"I actually didn't really expect to win.  I mean, I always enter a tournament hoping to win.  But with a tough field like this I wasn't even really thinking about it until today.  The goal was to just play against whoever I was going to play and run good against them, see if they had some leaks, and try to exploit those - and I happened to run really, really good during the entire tournament.  Now, here I am," Wolpert said after the tournament.
