It ended up being Daniel Santoro who took down the Foxwoods World Poker Finals, the $449,910 first prize, and his first WPT title. Santoro's road to the win could be described as a whirlwind, a roller-coaster, a yoyo, or a comeback and all would fit just fine.
Santoro arrived at the final table third in chips and he was 1 of the 3 large-stacks. Santoro played very well and had the poker gods on his side when he really needed them. After knocking out Carbone in 3rd place with pocket aces vs pocket 10s, Santoro entered heads-up with a 4-1 chip lead. Santoro's final opponent, Christian Harder, played very well and managed to double up through Santoro on 3 separate occasions and also overtook the lead from Santoro.
