The winner of the $1,500 buy-in Six-Handed No-Limit Hold’em World Championship was Jason Warner from Vancouver, BC (Canada). He is a 22-year-old sales associate working in a hardware store and is an aspiring professional poker player.



This was Warner’s second time to enter a WSOP event. A few days ago, he busted out of the $2,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament. But this time first place was his an he scooped a cool $481,698.

Warner works at a home supply store named “Surrey New and Used” located in Surrey, BC, and there is no word yet on whether or not Warner plans to continue working after winning nearly half-a-million dollars.
