After a sixth-place finish in the $50,000 High Roller for $275,874, Keith Tilston came into the final day of play in the biggest buy-in event of the 2019 World Series of Poker as the chip leader but the only player without a bracelet. That's all changed now after he wins his first WSOP gold bracelet.
Converseley, runner-up Daniel Negreanu was the short-stack six-handed but doubled up five times at the final table, eventually falling short and eliminated when his opponent spiked a jack on the river.
He collected $1,725,838 as Nick Schulman, Igor Kurganov, Brandon Adams and Dominik Nitsche all final-tabled this event.
