The second event on the World Poker Tour's Season Six has come to an end as Abbotsford, BC's Shawn Buchanon has defeated Jared "TheWacoKidd" Hamby in heads-up play to take down the title of Mandalay Bay Poker Champion. Buchanon takes home $768,775 for his finish, as well as a WPT chip set, very large and unwieldy trophy, and an entry into the $25,000 WPT World Championship next April. Hamby receives $459,080 for his second-place finish, and of course both players receive the adulation of hundreds of millions of PokerListings.com readers worldwide. Congratulations to both finalists!
