A huge field of 2,791 players entered this event and after three long days of play only one player is left standing. Travis Johnson was a prominent figure throughout play today as he got the better of some big pots early on against Gary Tang and Michael Pesek, and rode the wave all the way to the final table.
He continued to apply pressure on his opponents, and his aggressive approach finally got him over the line against a valiant Steve Karp in a tough heads-up battle.
Travis Johnson will take home an incredible $666,853 for his efforts, and of course, the coveted bracelet.
