Das $1.000 No-Limit Hold’em Event ist entschieden. Das 21. Bracelet der World Series of Poker 2012 schnappte sich Michael Gathy. Als Preisgeld kassierte der Belgier $440.829. Runner-up wurde Jamie ‘pokerjamers’ Armstrong aus den USA für $273.776.
Insgesamt 17 Spieler hatten sich für den Finaltag qualifiziert. Also musste zunächst einmal auf den Final Table runter gespielt werden. Es dauerte nur zwei Stunden, bis es an den letzten Tisch ging und dann weitere 70 Minuten, bis sich Dan Smith auf Rang 10 verabschiedete. Der US-Amerikaner brachte short-stacked seine Chips preflop mit 
in die Mitte, Noah Vaillancourt hielt 
dagegen und traf bis zum Turn 
ein Straight Flush, was mehr als genug war um Dan Smith ($25.367) an die Rails zu schicken.
Jamie Armstrong (2,25 Millionen) sowie Noah Vaillancourt (2,4 Millionen) waren zu diesem Zeitpunkt die Bullies am Tisch und die restlichen sieben Spieler hielten zusammen gerade einmal 3,71 Millionen in Chips. Recht schnell verabschiedeten sich Josh ‚JJProdigy‘ Fields (9./$32.748) und Jason Manggunio (8./$42.749). Nach etwa zweieinhalb Stunden war das Feld auf vier Teilnehmer runtergespielt. Platz 5 belegte Eric Baldwin ($101.948), der mit Damen 
gegen das Babyace von Noah Vaillancourt (Board: 
) unterlag.
Kurz darauf doppelte Michael Gathy gegen Vaillancourt auf und entging so dem Aus auf Platz 4. Dieser Rang gehörte dann John Esposito ($139.457), der sich mit 
gegen Jamie Armstrong 
verabschiedete. Bevor es in das Heads-up gehen konnte, kümmerte sich Jamie Armstrong ( > 
) um Noah Vaillancourt ($193.089).
Mit 46 Big Blinds zu 36 Big Blinds hielt Armstrong eine knappe Führung vor Michael Gathy. Armstrong hatte seinen Gegner schnell in den Seilen, doch der Belgier doppelte mit 
gegen 
auf und war zurück im Spiel. Das Spiel wiederholte sich und ein zweites Comeback feierte Gathy, als er mit 
ein Two Pair floppte, am Turn 
ein Full House machte und einen großen Pot gewinnen konnte.
Gathy drehte das Spiel und konnte am Ende das Turnier für sich entscheiden. Mit 
gegen 
war der Belgier preflop der Favorit, das Board 
änderte nichts und das Spiel war beendet. Michael Gathy kassierte $440.829 und das goldene Bracelet, Jamie Armstrong erhielt $273.776.
