Memorable Hand:
Three-handed play lasted more than 4 = hours, and no hand typified the grueling three-way duel better than John Myungs final Houdini act before finally being eliminated in third place. Myung went all in with J-5 against Payvars pocket tens, and he was dead to a jack when the flop came 8-6-6 and the turn brought a three. But a jack rolled in on the river, miraculously pairing Myung up and keeping him alive for a little while longer.

Other noteworthy finishers were: Alan Goehring in 35th place; Daniel Negreanu in 36th; Jeffrey Lisandro in 45th and Max Pascatori in 53rd.

Running Numbers:

6: Hours it took for the final two eliminations at the marathon final table
0: World Series events Payvar played in 2004, when his father was battling cancer
