Winner of Event 7 - $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em

Matt Keikoan bested a field of 1,592 players over the course of three very long days to win his first bracelet at his first WSOP final table. When the final table got to three-handed, and especially heads-up, he put on a clinic in power poker. As his opponent got shorter and shorter, Keiokan pushed harder and harder, and eventually bested runner-up Shannon Shorr.
