In the end Luke Brabin emerged victorious, taking home $131,365 AUD ($115,491 USD) and his very first WSOP gold bracelet.
“It’s surreal obviously,” said Brabin after coming out on top. “I’ve never experienced anything like this. Only played 35 live tournaments in my life.”
In fact, this was the first WSOP event that Brabin ever entered.
He entered the final table as the chip leader and made it down to heads-up play with a gigantic chip lead lead over eventual runner-up Didier Guerin. On the final hand Guerin open shoved with the 9
8 from the button and was called by Brabin who held the K
Q

622Q and just like that Brabin secured his biggest tournament win and the first bracelet of the 2014 WSOP APAC.
