November Niner Jeremy Ausmus Wins 2013 WSOPE PLO Bracelet
October 18, 2013 11:20 am 2012 November Niner Jeremy Ausmus has just won the World Series of Poker Europe €1650 Pot-Limit Omaha event, after beating a field of 184 players on his way to capturing a gold bracelet, and collecting the €70,324 ($95,978) first place prize.
With his victory in Paris, Ausmus now takes his live career earnings to roughly $4.5 million, and talking later on what winning a WSOP bracelet meant to him, replied: ”
“It is a huge deal in this industry to have the bracelet. It is all about the bracelet, it is funny. I’m really, really glad to have a bracelet. I feel like I’ve done some things besides just make the (Main Event) final table. Some guys you just never hear from again and I think I’ve left my mark and now even more so.”
The €1650 Pot-Limit Omaha event was well-attended by a whole slew of notable pros to create a prize pool worth €270,480. Amongst those big names landing one of the 20 paid money spots was Fabrice Soulier in 17th (€3,532), Moshin Charania in 14th (€4,225), Tom Vedes in 13th (€€4,225), Dan Kelly in 11th (€5,131).
By the time the final table of nine got underway, Jeremy Ausmus was the big-stack at the table and after such players as Jonathan Little (7th – €10,102), Jason Mercier (4th – €23,036), and 2012 WSOP $10,000 PLO championship winner Jan-Peter Jachtmann (3rd – €31,367) were eliminated, Jeremy Ausmus would face formidable Finnish pro Juha Helppi heads-up for the title.
As the final battle commenced, Helppi held a 2-to-1 chip advantage over the US pro but Ausmus was soon able to overcome the deficit to claim the prestigious gold bracelet.

1 Jeremy Ausmus $95,978
2 Juha Helppi $59,288
