Mike “The Mouth” Matusow took 3rd place, $369,800 Vivek Rajkumar took 4th – winning $295,800 I’m sharing a small collection of some of my favorite shots from the evening.įinal Table, before the start of the match. Hopefully I get the chance to work with the WPT in the future until then I hope you guys enjoy the images. So, to the staff of the WPT, Thank you! I had an amazing time and you all were great!
The staff of the WPT was wonderful though – everyone I came in contact with that evening was very helpful and everyone pretty much seemed to know I was there for the evening replacing their normal photographer and they all made sure I was able to do and shoot everything I needed that evening. So while it wasn’t a completely new experience being around television cameras, professional talent, etc., working with this major brand was a new setting for myself. I’ve seen poker tournaments on TV, and know a couple people who have played professionally at various levels. So, I made the trip up to the Bay Area and spent Friday evening – and many more hours into the morning – shooting the Final Table. This was an awesome opportunity and I was thrilled to be offered the chance to work with them.
I was contacted by the WPT about freelancing for them at one of their tournaments that they needed images from. About three weeks ago I photographed the Bay 101 tournament for the World Poker Tour in San Jose, Calif.
