Does anyone remember the 06 world series main even, where Hachem made it deep? He raises with AK and someone goes all in, he tanks and says, "No one folds this hand. No one!" He eventually lays it down face up and the all-in guy shows AQ, then Hachem storms out of the room!

Was wondering about Martin de Knjiff this morning as I posted chip counts, and found he hadn't cashed in anything since 2005. And bingo, hours later he's on the board.

5. Tommy Le ($1,950,000)
6. Jeff King ($1,305,000)
Notes - $3,974,967 in winnings for Gus, 7th WPT final table, 2nd of the season. 2nd WPT FT (and of the season) for Carroll, who has $1,209,417 in winnings. 2nd FT for Chiu, last was in Season 1. $2,844,153 in winnings. $231,203 in winnings for Roveto, $162,873 for Le, just $13,555 for King; one $470 cash in 2004, then a 12th place finish in 07 $5k WSOP HORSE.
Seems I jinxed him. Chiu wins after grinding Hansen down heads up.
Final hand:
Gus Hansen has the button, he raises to 750,000, and Chiu calls. The flop comes Ac10c8s, Chiu checks, Hansen bets 900,000, and Chiu calls. There is already 3.35 million in the pot.
The turn card is the 5s, Chiu bets 1.2 million, and Hansen thinks for about 30 seconds before he moves all in for 8,675,000. After nearly two minutes of counting out his own chips, Chiu says, "I call."
The crowd leaps to their feet, waiting to see their cards. Gus Hansen shows 10s8h for two pair, while David Chiu shows As9s for a pair of aces with a flush draw. Chiu needs an ace, a nine, a five, or any spade to win the tournament right here.
The river card is -- the Ah!
The crowd cheers in surprise as David Chiu leaps in celebration, and quickly gets his hand on a Chinese flag that he waves near the table.
After the initial excitement of the hand wears off, the audience stands in stunned silence. Gus Hansen walks over to David Chiu as if he is in a daze.
Gus Hansen finishes in second place, earning $1,714,800. He'll have to wait for his fourth WPT title.
Results:
1. David Chiu ($3,389,140)
2. Gus Hansen ($1,714,800)
3. John Roveto ($923,355)
4. Cory Carroll ($593,645)
5. Tommy Le ($395,725)
6. Jeff King ($263,815)
Gus busted every player at the table, with the exception of Chiu, who rarely played a hand until heads up.
Despite them not yet having a TV contract for it, but whatever.
