The WPT Bellagio Cup IV has come to a close and fighting his way through a stacked field to take home the $1.6 million first-place prize was 24-year-old online poker pro Mike "SirWatts" Watson.
At one point last night during the WPT televised final table, it looked like Watson's heads-up opponent, poker pro David Benyamine, would take down the tournament to give him yet another WPT title. However, Watson fought back courtesy of a couple of huge hands to pull ahead and win the tournament. Benyamine cashed out for $840,295.
Here are the full final table results:
1. Michael Watson - $1,673,770
2. David Benyamine - $840,295
3. Luke Staudenmaier - $452,465
4. Ralph Perry - $290,900
