The
winner of the $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em championship was Ghandrasekhar
Billavara. He is a 38-year-old businessman from San Francisco, CA. This was
only the second World Series of Poker tournament Billavara had ever entered. It
was his first tournament victory. -- Billvara was born in India. He earned a
B.A. in computer science. He now owns a coffee shop in San Francisco. -- In
Billavara's first WSOP poker event last week, he busted out on the third hand
of play. Frustrated, he almost passed on entering this event. However,
Billavara had previously won $3,200 playing craps inside the casino. He decided
that if he entered one more $1,500 buy-in tournament, even a bust-out
guaranteed a net win of $200 for the Las Vegas trip. So, Billavara entered this
tournament along with over 3,000 other aspiring champions. He ended up cashing
for $722,914. |
