For the invitational winner Tom McEvoy of newly crowned 2009 WSOP champions, the 1970 Corvette Stingray was just the icing on the cake. The tournament brought together 20 main event champions for the car and the Binion’s cup which has been newly created. It can be noted that Tom had won the WSOP main event in 1983.
Back then, there were only 108 entrants and a $540,000 top prize. At that time, winning this prestigious event was also about winning the respect of the entire poker world. And he has again come to prove himself. McEvoy sent Bechtel home fourth after 2002 main event.
