Nelson Resendiz had a 26-to-1 chip lead over Marco Townsend, and moved all in (possibly blind) on the next hand.

Townsend called all in with 10s9c, and Resendiz turned over KhJs. Townsend paired his nine on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

The blinds increased to 40,000-80,000 with an 80,000 big blind ante, and the next hand, Townsend folded his small blind.

Resendiz shoved the next hand, and Townsend called with 6d5h. Resendiz turned over 5d2d, and the board came low enough for Townsend’s six to play, giving him another double up.

Marco Townsend  –  380,000  (6 bb)
Nelson Resendiz  –  3,940,000  (66 bb)

The next hand, Townsend moved all in, and Resendiz called with 10s10d. Townsend turned over Qh6c, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 8d4h3h2h10c, and Resendiz won the pot — and the trophy — with a rivered set of tens.
