WSOP 2018: John Cynn Wins Final Table, $8.8M Prize Money
Timothy RappJul 15, 2018
John Cynn is poker's version of a marathon runner.
He won the 2018 World Series of Poker No-Limit Hold'em main event early Sunday morning over Tony Miles, winning $8.8 million in the process, with the final head-to-head matchup on the final table alone lasting for over 10 hours.
Cynn ultimately defeated Miles at the final table with trip kings, per WSOP.com. Miles bet $114 million in chips after the turn, holding a queen and an eight with two kings, a five and an eight on the table. Cynn thought over his decision for nearly a minute before calling with a king-jack, winning the pot and the tournament after a meaningless four on the river.
Miles took home $5 million as the consolation prize.
