Memorable hand:
It wasn’t quite the hand that Brunson made famous and ultimately saw named after him, but it was damned close. “Texas Dolly” won his record-tying 10th bracelet by moving all in with just a 10-3 offsuit (10-2 is of course known as the “Doyle Brunson”), and was the clear underdog when Ly called with K-Q offsuit. But the flop came 9-8-3, pairing up the 73-year-old legend, and the turn and river fired off a couple of blanks – a four and then a five – to give Doyle the championship.

Other noteworthy finishers were Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson in 11th and John Juanda in 17th.

Running numbers:
4: Days that Johnny Chan reigned as the only 1-bracelet winner
10: World Series final tables reached by fourth-place finisher Layne Flack
5: World Series bracelets won by Flack
