After four days of poker, Event #53: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em now has a champion with Brett Shaffer collected his first WSOP bracelet and $665,397 in prizemoney.
What started on Saturday with a mammoth 2,816 players was slowly whittled down day-by-day until we reached a final table of nine early yesterday afternoon. Expecting to crown a winner late in the day, the final table was off to a quick start as we lost Matias Ruzzi, Darren Rabinowitz, Jonathan Cohen and Diego Zeiter all in the first 23 hands. However the five-handed battle would be a tough one with nearly each of the players holding onto the chip lead at one point as Canadian Mike Watson led the five at dinner break.
Once play recommenced, it would be Shaffer's turn in taking the chip lead after he peeled with a gunshot that spiked on the river against Watson. However Shaffer would relinquish that lead to the only female to make two final tables in Loni Harwood who four-bet shoved with 
and had Shaffer tank-call with 
to find a double. Watson would then run deuces into queens before falling in 4th as the final four would be lead by Arttu Raekorpi as they went on the final break for the evening.
Unfortunately for Harwood, she wouldn't be the first female bracelet winner this year as she exited in 4th place after shoving 
into Vamplew's 
. As we entered the final level of play it would be Vamplew getting lucky to take a huge chip lead after shoving 
into Raekorpi's 
. Vamplew however would then be on the losing end of a dominated flip when Shaffer cracked his with 
before play ended for the night with Vamplew and Shaffer neck-and-neck as Raekorpi rounded out the rear.
Once play recommenced today, Raekorpi would last just four hands before falling in 3rd as Shaffer took s chip lead into heads up play that was virtually the size of the small blind. Vamplew took the lead early, but Shaffer snatched it back before extending it further and further to hold a two-to-one advantage. After 23 hands of heads up play and 201 hands at the final table, the final hand would see Vamplew snap-call Shaffer's three-bet shove with 
but be unable to hold against Shaffer's 
when he flopped top two pair to see the young Scottish player earn his second 2nd place finish of the series.

Vamplew:
Shaffer:
With Vamplew in the lead and looking to double through to a two-to-one advantage, the 
flop gave Shaffer the commanding lead with top two pair.
As Vamplew's rail that was full of British and other European players stood to their feet, they repeatedly called for the 
before the dealer delivered the 
on the turn.
"Queen of f**king spades one time!" screamed one of Vamplew's rail birds, but as the dealer dropped the 
on the river, Vamplew would have to settle for his second 2nd place for the series which sees him earn $413,157 for his efforts.
