Event # 53 der diesjährigen World Series of Poker (WSOP) musste in die Verlängerung. Neil Willerson und Vladimir Mefodichev trafen sich an Tag 4 zum Heads-up. Am Ende ging Neil Willerson mit dem Bracelet und $ nach Hause.
Vladimir Mefodichev schien schon der sichere Sieger zu sein, doch Neil Willerson schlug zurück und da es an Tag 3 schon sehr spät geworden war, einigten sich die beiden Kontrahenten, das Heads-up zu vertragen. In der Verlängerung gab Willerson seine Führung nicht mehr aus der Hand. Mefodichev konnte sich zwar noch annähern, aber letztlich war er doch chancenlos. Einmal noch konnte er sehr short mit 
gegen 
von Willerson verdoppeln, da am Flop der Jack kam, aber noch immer hatte Neil Willerson mehr als eine 2:1 Führung.
Am Flop 
kam es dann bald zum letzten All-in. Willerson hielt 
, Mefodichev 
für den höheren Flush Draw. Der Turn 
brachte das Paar für Willerson, der River 
änderte nichts mehr und Neil Willerson durfte sich über das Bracelet und $737.248 freuen.
