Devon MacPherson conquered a field of 1,002 runners, one of the largest fields we've seen here at the Borgata Winter Open, to take down Event 21 for $42,768.

The marathon tournament ended almost 23 hours after it began, when MacPherson won a flip to win a heads-up match against Nicholas Febbraio. Febbraio and MacPherson dominated the play late in the tournament, knocking out most of the other players and holding sizable chip leads over the other players from at least five-handed play on. Discussion of a chop cropped up a few times, but MacPherson's reluctance to agree to a deal ended up working to his benefit in the end.

"I didn't come all the way up from Florida to chop," MacPherson said when players were attempting to strike a deal.
