It's Johnson all the way in main event triumph
The 2011 World Series of Poker Circuit Caesars Palace main event reached its climax over the weekend, with a final table that was decided in just over two-and-a-half hours.
The $1 600 buy-in event pulled in a field of 496 players, with many recognisable names among them, generating a prize pool of almost $715 000.
Final table competitors were led by Chris Johnson, closely pursued by Alex Santiago, Adam Hui & Brian England, & followed by Jon Seaman, John Kulish, James Martini, Dave Stann, Matthew Leecy & Derrick Kuenzel.
Johnson held on to his lead for most of the fast & exciting action, ending the session in the heads up with Brian England, where he was victorious, taking home the winner's ring, the title, a seat in the million dollar national championship next month & main prize money of $153 599.
England's second placing prize gave him a payday of $94 944.
