The 29-year-old poker pro from Liverpool plays mostly no-limit hold’em events, but showed he is no slouch in other games by taking down the $1,500 seven-card stud hi-lo event on Thursday afternoon.
In what was an unscheduled fourth day of play, Dobson defeated Tim Finne heads-up to top the 596-entry field and earned $173,528 along with his first WSOP bracelet.
“[I’m] Absolutely on top of the world,” said Dobson after his win. “Stud 8 is probably my favorite game, actually, of poker and it’s one that I don’t get to play a lot. I only get to play it a few times a year, but I really enjoy it.”
The fourth day of the event saw Dobson return with a sizable chip lead over Finne and two-time bracelet winner Jesse Martin, who finished third. The added pressure of a large chip lead combined with the talent level of the second and third-place finishers made the experience more of a relief than pure joy.
