In 2009, Jonathan Tamayo made an incredible run in the World Series of Poker Main Event before finishing 21st.
Fifteen years later, the poker pro got the job done, coming from behind to beat second-place Jordan Griff and third-place Niklas Astedt on Wednesday to earn $10 million and his first-ever WSOP bracelet.
This year's $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em World Championship saw a record 10,112 entrants, per David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Tamayo, a Cornell University graduate from Humble, Texas, is certainly a well-deserving winner.
