2020 WSOP Main Event Headsup Championship Winner Damian Salas
The 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) officially came to an end when Argentina’s Damian Salas defeated Joseph Hebert in a heads-up finale to win $1 million, a coveted gold bracelet, and the title of WSOP Main Event champion.
The epic back-and-forth heads-up match that lasted a staggering 173 hands was actually the culmination of two $10,000 Main Events. Neither player wanted to give an inch. Whenever one would get short, they’d double back. At times it looked like Salas was going to pull away, then Hebert would dig his heels in, win some pots, and put himself in the driver’s seat. It really was anyone’s game.In the end Salas had all the chips and achieved his life’s dream.
