The winner of Event #48, the Ace-to-Five Triple Draw Lowball World Championship was 27-year-old semi-professional player Rafit Amit, from Holon Israel. This was Amit’s second victory at the World Series of Poker. He won the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha championship in 2005, which was good for his first gold bracelet.

The tournament attracted 209 entries and was played over three days. Amit was second in chips when he arrived at the final table, where play lasted about five hours on the final day. First place paid $227,005.

Other than his two WSOP wins, Amit is perhaps best known for an unusual incident that took place when he won the first gold bracelet.
