His biggest win previously was $55k, Arnold made a prediction a year ago playing at the Belagio event to a friend that he would win a WPT event and that it would be the Reno World Poker Challenge. Either Spee is a psychic or he has some amazing luck to complete his vision.
Spee battled with fellow long time professional poker player Blair Rodman, Blair is a respected old timer professional player who has been on the circuit for over 15 years. Blair has yet to make a final table in a big televised event so he isn't known to the public, but he's well respected within his poker peers.

Final Results:

1. Arnold Spee
2. Blair Rodman
3. Phil Ivey
4. Michael Yoshino
5. Russ Carlson
6. Mark Chapic
