Seventeen hours of high stress poker in front of the ESPN cameras came down to the final hand of the final table of the final event of the 2007 World Series of Poker. Holding all of the chips and the only chair left Jerry Yang claimed the 2007 World Champion Poker Player title after defeating Tuan Lam in a hard fought heads up battle. The winner of the 2007 WSOP Main Event received a custom Corum watch, a very special platinum and diamond bracelet plus $8,250,000 in cash.
The event was the finale of the 2007 WSOP that has been played daily over the course of the past 46 days. Fifty-five poker players from around the world won bracelets in separate events that began on June 1 and finally ended early Wednesday morning.
ESPN broadcast the final table to viewers around the world on Pay-per-View television while PokerNews.com live blogged the event and I provided the photos of all the action as it happened. Stop back often in the next days for more of Dr. Pauly’s unique views of the event and a complete display of Flipchip photos of all the action, players, and sights of the 2007 World Series of Poker.
