2008 WSOP Event 5 Winner Michael Banducci

There are some sports teams that have subscribed to the theory of "if it's not rough it ain't right". Of course most of them who attempted to apply this idea to a Championship run usually find themselves on the golf course while their opponents are either going deeper into the playoffs or drinking champagne out of an absurdly large trophy. While the "if it's not rough it ain't right" approach usually fails in team sports it has done well at this year's World Series of Poker. Event #5 was not one of these events though.
