And it's called the World Series of Poker Main Event. It definitely is a world championship.
That was a really enjoyable final table. Antonio Esfandiari's commentary was excellent. Yes he's a professional, but he really understands the game. He also is one of a few people how can add commentary and people at home of all levels can understand and enjoy it.
I found it hilarious that during the last hand Farber started saying he didn't care. If that was true, he would have shoved way earlier and tried to get lucky. He's disappointed. I would be too, but $5M is a nice consolation prize.
Riess played really well. He hit a lot of cards early on, but stayed composed and weathered the storm when Farber started making a comeback. He made some nice positional plays, read Farber well and used his chip stack to his advantage. Even the last hand he set him up by playing it the exact same way 2 or 4 hands before that one.
