Joe Commisso

Joe Commisso won the biggest single cash prize awarded so far at the 2008 World Series of Poker in Event 46, $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Six Handed.

Commisso won $911,855 after out lasting a field of 805 players and the longest heads-up match so far this year at the WSOP.

Commiso is a day trader who turned to poker, and has only been playing the game for three years, which is not a long time in poker. He said winning the tournament and the WSOP bracelet was a big deal for him, but he wasn’t sure he’d be playing in any more tournaments.
