'After my unexpected WSOP bracelet this summer, to come back here to Lac-Leamy, my hometown, and ship the ring... I can't ask for better,' Sylvestre told WSOP officials after the win. 'It's an amazing feeling.' On a side note, it's worth noting that all the Main Event dealers donated 100 percent of their tips to the One Drop charity.

According to the WSOP live blog, the first elimination of the final table came in Level 25 (12,000/24,000/4,000) when Mike Leah opened for 53,000 under the gun and Ioannis Pentefountas moved all in for 62,000 from the small blind.
