Congratulations to Vitaly Lunkin, Champion of Event #27 ($628,417)
Lunkin played a cagey final table, and but for some bad luck on two occasions when a board flush overcoated his hand to give an opponent second life, this final table would have been over much sooner than it was.
Lunkin not only earned a WSOP gold bracelet, but he also walks away from this tournament with a cash prize of $628,417. That's pretty good for three days in the Amazon Room. PokerNews offers its most heartfelt congratulations to Lunkin.
