A.J. Kelsall: 
When Hoenig flipped over his first card from the final draw, he still had a lot of outs to win, with any heart that didn’t pair his board. He got the heart, but it paired his four, and Kelsall won the pot with his K-high Badugi to double up for the second hand in a row.
Ryan Hoenig – 1,620,000 (20 BB)
A.J. Kelsall – 240,000 (3 BB)

As the game switched to Stud-8, Kelsall said he was going to take his stack “From Sixty to Greatness.” He even (jokingly) apologized to Hoenig in advance for the pain of losing the trophy after holding a 30-to-1 chip lead.
