We thought we had taken pictures of everyone that we thought could possibly win the WPT Invitational over the weekend. Actually, to be fair, we took a lot of pictures of celebrities and attractive women with really no thought as to who might win. Either way, we took a lot of photos. Unfortunately, we took none of eventual winner Van Nguyen, hence the reason you are looking at WPT hostess Kimberly Lansing.
Nguyen, who is the wife of Men "The Master" Nguyen, beat out a final table that included absolutely no one famous. For the win, she gets $100,000 and a $25,000 seat to the WPT World Championship in April.
Here are the full final table placings and payouts:
1. Van Nguyen — $100,000 + $25,000 WPT Championship seat
2. Ethan Ruby — $50,000
3. Billy Baxter — $20,000
4. Justin Marchand — $15,000
5. Elias Madias — $10,000
