Kenneth Griffin has officially outlasted all 2,890 players in Event 45 at the 2011 WSOP and earned a $455 first place prize.

Antonio Esfandiari was the only well-known poker pro and despite some serious momentum the Magician eventually disappeared in seventh place.

Griffin, a former marine, won the tournament with pocket aces. Not a bad hand heads-up!
