Lee Markholt Earns His First "W"
Until this event, Lee Markholt has cashed 14 different times in various WPT events, with never having made a final table. Lee set a precedent by winning the first hand on the final table, and kept the pressure turned on as he worked his way to the win.
261 players entered the $7,500 buy in tourney making the prize pool a healthy $1,873,275, with the winners share just short of half a million including his $25,000 seat for the WPT championship event.
Lee held the chip lead over Devo going into the final hand. Both players flopped top pair on a #4s-#3h-#2s board, with Markholt's Jack out kicking Devo's 8. The turn brought the #Jd giving Markholt top two, leaving Devo drawing dead.
Lee couldn't have called Bryans final all-in bet any quicker before turning over the winning hand.
The tournament field was filled with pro's with names such as Phil Ivey and Michael Mizrachi both finishing just shy of the final six, making the short stacked David "The Dragon" Pham the biggest name to be seated at the final table.
The final table:
| Place | Player | Amount |
| 1st | Lee Markholt | $493,815 |
| 2nd | Bryan Devonshire | $271,625 |
| 3rd | Zachary Hyman | $149,862 |
| 4th | Jason Potter | $103,030 |
| 5th | David Pham | $93,664 |
| 6th | Jeff Dewitt | $84,297 |
