In the end Dylan Wilkerson emerged victorious, defeating Richard Barnard heads-up to capture his first World Poker Tour title and the $147,509 first-place prize in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Wilkerson also earned 468 Player of the Year points for his first win of the year at his fifth final table.
