Memorable hand:
Some might say the best hand was when Ivey cut the field from seven to five by eliminating two players at once with a flush. But we prefer the final hand of the tournament. With a flop of 8-7-4, Williamson raised, Ivey re-raised enough to put RWIII all in, and Williamson made the call. The Texan had A-8-202 for top pair with an overcard, but Ivey showed 10-6-5-4, meaning he had flopped an eight-high straight. The turn was a four, pairing the board, and meaning Williamson needed one of the two remaining deuces to win with a full house. Instead the river was a three, and Ivey become the youngest player ever to win five bracelets.

Running numbers:
229: Total number of re-buys in the event
20: Number of previous bracelets won by the nine men at the final table
4: Consecutive years in which Williamson has reached the final table in this event.
0: Dollars Richard St. Peter took home for 10th place, making the ESPN-televised final table but not making it into the money
