As soon as the television sign-off is complete, they have to do it again for the TV cameras, and they ask the crowd to stay for one more take. (Some leave anyway.) This time, they make sure Tuan Le is holding the silver platter trophy that he won as they do it all over again. The crowd applause is a little less intense this time, until Tuan Le excitedly hoists the platter over his head, and the crowd responds more loudly. The applause tapers off, and the WPT photographer starts setting up to take some photos for posterity.

Now Sexton introduces Tuan Le, who won his second WPT event after taking Foxwoods earlier this season. Tuan Le compliments the other final table players, saying they were all champions, and says he is still breathless from what happened.

Sexton introduces Doug Dalton, head of poker operations for Bellagio, and he presents Tuan Le with a championship bracelet for his victory.

Sexton announces that Tuan Le is now the leading money winner on the World Poker Tour, stealing that title from Daniel Negreanu, who reacts in mock disgust.

Mike Sexton introduces Daniel Negreanu, who will receive the WPT Player of the Year award for his outstanding year on the tour. Vince Van Patten helps him don the Player of the Year jacket, and when it seems a bit large, Daniel quips, "This was Erick Lindgren's, right?" [Erick Lindgren was last year's WPT Player of the Year.]

Hand 189: Tuan Le raises it to $2 million, and Paul Maxfield pushes all in. Tuan Le folds.

Hand 190: Paul Maxfield pushes all in, and Tuan Le quickly calls, showing K-J suited. Maxfield turns over K-5 offsuit, and he's dominated. Unless Maxfield catches some help, Tuan Le will win this tournament. The flop comes J-10-3, and Tuan Le takes a commanding lead. Maxfield needs to catch something runner-runner (like 5-5) to stay alive. The turn card is a queen, and that means Maxfield is hoping for a chopped pot with a nine or an ace. Anything else will eliminate him from the tournament. The river card is a 7, and Paul Maxfield is eliminated in second place, earning $1,698,390.

Tuan Le wins the WPT World Championship, earning $2,856,150.

Tuan Le - $12.4 million
Paul Maxfield - $10.2 million

Unbelievably, the tournament continues with another come-from-behind river card. Tuan Le was a huge underdog in this hand, but manages to double up and get right back into the game.
