LAS VEGAS -- Qui Nguyen won the 2016 World Series of Poker main event late Tuesday night, earning $8 million and the diamond-encrusted gold bracelet.
He defeated Gordon Vayo in a heads-up battle that lasted 182 hands and well over seven hours to win the WSOP bracelet in his first time playing the WSOP main event.
After failing to put Vayo away in three all-in showdowns, the fourth all-in between the pair led to Nguyen's victory.
