Qui Nguyen prevailed in the 2016 World Series of Poker main event after a grueling 181-hand, heads-up battle with runner-up Gordon Vayo that ran into the early hours of Wednesday morning at the Penn and Teller Theater in Las Vegas.
Cliff Josephy claimed third place, but it was all about Nguyen's battle with Vayo in an extraordinary final table clash.
Per the Associated Press' Jimmy Golen (via WSOCTV.com), Nguyen and Vayo's heads-up showdown was the longest in tournament history.
Having been on the edge of victory numerous times, the former nail salon owner finally prevailed on the 364th hand.
