Memorable hand:
There were several memorable hands in which WSOP rookie Wilson made successful moves with a lousy 5-4 in the hole, and there was a fantastic moment when he staved off elimination by spiking a five to make a straight on the river. But the biggest hand of all came when Wilson was trailing in heads-up play, went all in with pocket fours, and got called by Gales’ pocket tens. Wilson looked headed for the rail until the J-8-4 flop vaulted him into the lead. The turn was another eight, meaning Gale could win with a ten or another eight, but the river was a king, doubling Wilson up and giving him the chip lead.

Other noteworthy finishers were David ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot in 14th place and Erik Seidel in 16th place.
