It's over! The third and longest day of the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event final table finally completed just a few hours ago, with Qui Nguyen being the one to top the 6,737-player field to win the title and $8,005,310 first prize.
Nguyen won after outlasting Gordon Vayo in a grueling, eight-hour heads-up duel. That marathon contrasted sharply with the action-packed start to the final night, kicked off in the very first hand with a big double-up by Cliff Josephy through leader Nguyen.
Then just four hands later Josephy suffered a big setback when Vayo doubled through him, making Josephy the short stack again.
