[B]Tom McEvoy Is World Series of Poker’s Champion of Champions[/B]

Published: June 2, 2009 
  LAS VEGAS (Associated Press) — Tom McEvoy has been crowned the champion of champions at the  World Series of Poker after beating previous main-event winners in a special  tournament.
 McEvoy won the title early Tuesday after a two-day tournament that started  with 20 former winners of poker’s richest event. The field included Doyle  Brunson, Johnny Chan and the 11-time gold-bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth.
 McEvoy won the no-limit Texas Hold ’Em main event in 1983, earning $540,000.  He has won four tournaments at the series, most recently in 1992 at a limit  Omaha tournament.
 McEvoy did not win a gold bracelet for the event, which was created for the  series’ 40th anniversary. He took home a restored 1970 Chevrolet Corvette worth  $50,000 and the Binion Cup, named for the series’  founders.
