Nothing higher than a 10 hit the board and Hudon had a shocking double up to 157.6 million, while Glaser fell to 72 million, which was still way ahead of anyone else, but certainly not the situation envisioned himself being in. Hudon, who didn’t really want to tangle with Glaser that early, woke up with pocket Kings, so he pretty much had to call. In what was probably a bullying move with his massive stack (now up to 148.8 million), Glaser moved all-in under the gun with A-J. It looked like a two-horse race at best, but nobody expected what happened on the fourth hand of the final table. Going into Tuesday’s six-handed final table, Hudon was in second place with 80.8 million chips and while that gave him about as many chips as the third through sixth players combined, he was still way behind chip leader Benny Glaser, who had 133.6 million. As it would be for most people, it is by far the largest cash of Hudon’s career – he had previously won just over $200,000 to this point in live poker tournaments. In one of the shortest World Poker Tour final tables we have seen, Eliot Hudon defeated Benny Glaser heads-up to win the inaugural WPT World Championship and an incredible $4,146,400 first prize.
