Congratulations to Andrew Lichtenberger, Champion of Caesars Las Vegas WSOP-C Main Event ($190,137)!

Champion Andrew Lichtenberger!
Champion Andrew Lichtenberger!
Throughout the course of this final table, it seemed like it was Andrew Lichtenberger's day. After starting off in 6th chip position of the 10 finalists, Lichtenberger started gathering momentum. Everyone in the room could sense that maybe it was Lichtenberger's chance to win his first ever live tournament. Certainly every time Lichtenberger got his chips in the middle against an opponent, he had the goods and flopped exceptionally well. When he wasn't getting all of the chips in the middle, he was playing smart, intelligent poker.

But so was Dan Casetta. Casetta, the Day 1 chip leader, was basically never at risk of elimination over the three days of this tournament. So when his Immovable Object met Lichtenberger's Unstoppable Force, it was only natural that a stalemate should result. Five hours the two men played heads up, going deeper into the night than anyone at the Caesars Palace poker room expected. Each player was all in at risk of elimination a few times during the heads-up battle, but every time the short stack doubled up.

Finally, with blinds at 30,000 and 60,000, the player who didn't run as well as his opponent would quickly find himself getting short. That's what happened to Casetta. And although he managed to double up one last time by coming from way behind, in the end he ran out of steam, time and chips.

Lichtenberger played exceptionally well throughout the final table and hit hands when he needed to. That's almost always an unbeatable combination. Congratulations to Andrew on a hard-fought, well-deserved victory.

Here's how the rest of the table finished:

1st - Andrew Lichtenberger ($190,137)
