It took more than five hours for Salas to finish off his opponent. Even once the blinds got so big that there weren’t many decisions left to be made, play still resumed for quite some time. Neither player was willing to give in as there was so much riding on this match.

Both players had already won just north of $1.5 million for beating their respective final tables. But they each were chasing that extra $1 million paid to the winner of Sunday’s heads-up finale. And the player who lost the heads-up match took received nothing beyond the $1.5 million already won.
