The $111,000 buy-in WPT Alpha8 for One Drop at Wynn Las Vegas attracted 45 entrants ($4,612,500 prize pool), and on Sunday the final six returned to play down to a winner on a live-streamed final table.
After five hours of play, Jonathan Jaffe, who began the final table as chip leader, defeated fellow WPT Champions Club member Taylor von Kriegenbergh in heads-up play to win the tournament for a career-high $1,537,600.
The score was more than double Jaffe’s previous best, which came back in March when he placed third in the Triton Poker Vietnam Event #5: $30,000 NLH 7-Handed for $766,890. According to the Hendon Mob, Jaffe now has just over $9 million in lifetime tournament winnings.
