You can generally count on foreigners to bring the most festive crowds to WSOP final tables. Even moreso, obv, when we\’re talking about the November Nine and/or a country with a population the size of Bakersfield, California (about 350k).
Some 200 Belizeans made the trip to Las Vegas (pop. 584k), and got to see Badih \”Bob\” BouNahra bust out in 6th place … for a cool $1.3 million. (Click here for November Nine payouts.) And with that came celebratory festivities that only a tropical paradise that\’s essentially a shmancy English-speaking suburb of Honduras could provide.
For more of the Belizean beat … I also recorded an extended-mix version here (before it occurred to me to turn on the video cam).
