After a long heads up battle in which both players were oh so close to claiming the title, John Phan ultimately came out on top. The last hand was another coinflip, with Amit “Amak316″ Makhija moving all in and Phan making the call.

Amit had the K7 and Phan had pocket threes. The board came Q55AT and Phan’s pair stood tall to earn him his first World Poker Tour title. Makhija had 9 outs for the double up and another three for the chop after the turn, but after being saved on the river a few times previously the well ran dry.

John Phan comes out of his second consecutive WPT Final Table with a victory, taking the title and the $1,116,428 top prize. Amit “Amak316″ Makhija has to be disappointed in falling short of a title, but at the same time thrilled with a second place finish and the $563,320 that goes along with it.
