An extra day was added to Event #59 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and the UK's Alex Lindop came back Thursday to win the bracelet and $531,037 first-place prize.
After 2006 WSOP Main Event champion Jamie Gold busted fifth Wednesday, four players returned to battle for the title with Lindop eventually beating France's Aurelien Guiglini heads up.
The final hand saw Guiglini call of his remaining chips with two-pair only to find Lindop holding a full house.
The win marked Lindop's fourth WSOP cash lifetime, although the previous three were all under five figures.
