Respected online tournament pro Tristan "Cre8ive" Wade defeated a super tough final table line up to emerge victorious in Event #4 of the 2011 World Series of Poker Europe in the €3,200 No-Limit Holdem Shootout. At the final table were Triple Crown winner Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier, Online Player of the Year contender Taylor “ambiguosity” Paur, James Dempsey, recent winner Steve O’Dwyer, Richard Toth, Mike “SirWatts” Watson, and Emil “WhiteLime” Patel.

Wade had a strong 2011 WSOP making two final tables to add to his impressive online resume. His live earnings in 2011 jumped to nearly $750k.

The final table was destined to be a tough one because all the players came into the final table nearly even in chips due to the shootout format. At the final table, WSOP bracelet winner James Dempsey busted in 9th place, followed by Paur, Patel, O’Dwyer, and Grosspellier. With five tough players eliminated, Wade turned on the aggression bullying his opponents.

Heads-up, Wade found himself in a pitched battle with Canadian pro Mike “SirWatts” Watson. The final hand saw Wade's pocket Jacks beat Watson’s A5.
