You can't keep a good man down. No sooner did it seem like the pack was closing than Craig put in another burst and extended his lead again.

Another loaded final table, but it was won by the only amateur.

A win for Spain this time. Prats was heads-up for a bracelet last year, but ended up second, so was extra pleased and relieved to get back to heads-up again and win this time. No big scores in this on for us. Jon Tomato again came close to doing the job for Nye, but just missed the final table. One player who did get to that table was former Main Event runner-up Martin Staszko, who must have been dreaming of being runner-up again, but it wasn't to be, with him dropping in eighth place. Fellow November-Niner Pierre Neuville also cashed, not for the first time this year.

I scoffed at Ismael Bojang a while ago for his many deep runs without getting over the line, but he has made me eat my words here. He has made the top 20 on 21 occasions (27 including WSOP Asia & Europe) and the final table 10 times (14 with Asia/Eur), but has never previously finished higher than 4th. Well he showed me and topped all that with a career-defining second place in this. With over 1,200 entrants, you can't get better than that.

His heads-up opponent had his own monkey on his back, having finished 2nd in this very event in 2015. Someone's O had to go. The two of them gave up playing poker and started lobbing the lot in pre-flop and the 10m/5m lead flipped both ways a couple of times until Margolin sucked out two hands in a row, his QJ and KQ beating Bojang's AK and A2.

Ferguson was 4th and Ryan "I'm Gay" Laplante was 6th.

Hani Awad owns this event. He was second in it in 2015, won it in 2016 and he reached the final table again, notching up 6th place this time.

It was another heavy final table, five of whom were already bracelet-winners. When he got to three-handed, Brookshire was facing two players, Brendan Taylor and Daniel Ospina, who both had 1st and 2nd place results previously, plus a bunch of other top-five finishes, with Ospina going for his second bracelet of this Series. Brookshire won out, though, coming through in his first final table. Fourth place went to Mexico's Ian Shaw who, apparently, used to be an international cricket player.
