Memorable hand:
Kessler, severely short-stacked, moved all in pre-flop with Ac-Jh-10c-3c, and Brunson, who finished fifth in this event a year earlier, called with 9d-6c-2c-2d. The flop of Ks-10h-3c gave Kessler the lead with a pair of tens, but the 4d on the turn gave Doyle’s son a gut-shot straight draw. Brunson needed one of the three remaining fives to win the tournament, and sure enough the 5c hit on the river, making a six-high straight that took both the high and the low pots, to win the tournament.
Other noteworthy finishers were: Max Pescatori in 19th; Juan Carlos Mortensen in 33rd; and Scotty Nguyen in 34th.

Running numbers:
9: Bracelets Brunson now needs to win to catch up to his father.
0: Other father son-teams in which both father and son own WSOP bracelets
10: Minutes Ben Lang was suspended from play for after dropping the F-bomb at the final table.
