Leider hat es im Finale des WSOP $1.500 Dealers Choice Events wieder nicht mit dem ersten Bracelet für einen deutschen Spieler geklappt. Daniel Habl scheiterte auf Rang sieben des Turniers und durfte sich über ein Preisgeld von $11.454 freuen. Erwischt hat es den Deustchen beim Five Card Draw High, wo er seine restlichen Chips gegen den Chinesen Yueqi Zhu investierte. Daniel, der auf einem Flush-Draw unterwegs war, konnte seine Hand nicht verbessern und musste sich den Two Pair von Zhu geschlagen geben.
Am Ende triumphierte der US-Amerikaner Lawrence Berg, der schon als Chipleader in das Finale gegangen war. Im Heads-Up bezwang er ziemlich schnell Yueqi Zhu in einer Omaha Hi-Lo Hand und sicherte sich neben dem begehrten goldenen Armband die Siegprämie von $125.466.
