The Longest Main Event Final Table in History

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tournament Director Jack Effel just announced to the audience that this year's final table has officially become the lengthiest Main Event final table in WSOP history, surpassing the 2005 Main Event, which was won by Joe Hachem after 14 hours, 10 minutes of play.

Of course, the longest WSOP final table ever played happened only about a month ago at the WSOP-Europe at the Empire Casino in Leicester Square, where John Juanda won his fourth bracelet after a grueling 19.5 hours of play (nearly 22 hours including breaks). That marathon lasted 484 hands, over 200 of them heads-up.
