Bahador Ahmadi from Burnaby, BC (Canada) won Event 47, $2,500 Mixed Hold'em, at the 2009 World Series of Poker and took home $278,804 in prize money.

"In an event like this, you find a lot of No-Limit players who have not played much Limit.  So, if you have any edge in Limit, you can do well.  I have a strong background in Limit.  I found that I was able to really make (major gains) when we were playing Limit.  I sat back in the No-Limit and just picked my spots," Ahmadi said after the tournament.
