And I thought it was the best ever in terms of sportsmanship and camaraderie!

This was pretty amazing heads up match. I watched a lot of it was definitely a marathon longest heads up ever I think.... I like the way the champion, cynn,, seems so gracious at the end after he won also..... it was a real battle, they definitely both had a lot of endurance!!

congratulations John Cynn

It was a long journey from Poker in Las Vegas ... The fight broke into a dawn and demanded large numbers of marathon players who broke the longest Final Table record in the history of the main event of the world series of poker with 442 contested hands. And after eleven and a half hours, world poker has its new champion.

I wish I would've been able to watch this. Sounds like they had a "slugfest" during the heads-up battle. Congrats John Cynn.

It seemed like the friendliest slugfest that I've ever seen! They genuinely seemed to like each other.

From what I watched on TV, it was exciting and excellent poker. The TV schedule expected much shorter sessions....every session ran past their broadcast schedule, so I missed some of it….it was like the mens' semi-finals at Wimbledon and the Eveready bunny....just kept going and going.

Congrats John Cynn! Great final table!

2018 WSOP

Overall what an exciting final table! I also was glad to see all of the players folding crap right away and not posturing over no brainers. Everyone stayed classy and at the end of it all the best man won. Tony Miles was a great story though, battling through addiction and going to detox but still perservering was very awesome! Another great main event!

I was really amazed how Dyer start Final table really short and fought back to finish 3rd for more than 3.5k just made me remeber what Cary Katz have done when he went down to 2 big blinds and then shipped the whole thing in PCA 2018

Are you sure you meant Michael Dyer started the Final Table short stack? Michael was the overwhelming chip leader at the start of the Final Table if I remember right.

very boring ft... delayed

Very long heads up, incredible. Big money prize difference between 1st and 2nd, plus the title. Well done.
