Ralph Schwartz, winner WSOP Event #26

In Sunday's second Final Table, $5,000 H.O.R.S.E. Event #26, Ralph Schwartz of New York outlasted the field to take down the $275,683 first place money, a Corum watch and the coveted gold WSOP Champion's bracelet. Heads-up play found Schwartz facing the always tough Bill Gazes; but, Gazes couldn't overcome the huge chip deficit and had to settle for second place and $153,408 in cash.

Of note, Schwartz left the press holding their cameras while he took a hike outside to smoke, finally returning for the two minute photo shoot. He also declined Gazes' offer to play heads-up for some "real money." Congratulations to Ralph Schwartz and Ben Ponzia for their World series of Poker victories on Sunday.
