The WSOP H.O.R.S.E World Championship event is widely considered to be the most difficult tournament at the WSOP, as the large $50,000 buy-in and mixed-game format usually results in only the best players in the world entering. This year, 95 players put up the cash for a chance at the $1,276,820 first-place prize money and the opportunity to call themselves the best all-around poker player in the world, and in the end it would be David Bach in the winners circle.

Bach had to endure an 18 hour and 44 minute final table that also included a seven-hour heads-up match against John Hanson, making it the second longest WSOP final table in history. “I never wanted to touch one until I earned it,” said Bach.

Here’s are the final standings from the event:

1. David Bach – $1,276,802
2. John Hanson – $789,199
3. Erik Sagstrom – $522,394
4. Vitaly Lunkin – $368,813
5. Huck Seed – $276,610
6. Ville Wahlbeck – $219,655
7. Chau Giang – $184,087
8. Erik Seidel – $162,382
