As well as picking up $1.5 million and a WSOP title, Salas progressed to a heads-up showdown set to take place in Las Vegas on December 30.

Although the Argentinian’s victory stole the headlines, it’s not the only story from the Main Event’s unique final table. With the event switching from an online affair to a live one, Peiyuan Sun became an unexpected early casualty.
