Matt Hawrilenko only needed four hands of heads-up play to defeat Josh Brikis and claim the final gold WSOP bracelet of the summer. Hawrilenko became the latest 2009 WSOP millionaire after receiving the winner's purse totaling $1,003,163.


Josh Brikis completed the tournament in second place to take down a very respectable $619,609. Faraz Jaka was eliminated in third for $400,526 in cash. The event attracted a field of 928 players and paid the top 90 finishers.
