It's all over folks and another one is in the books. Elie Payan from France has earned himself victory in Event #22: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha and a whopping $292,825 in cash. Not only that, Payan now has a World Series of Poker gold bracelet wrapped around his wrist -- the most coveted prize in poker!
When the day began, Payan was right in the middle of the pack, but he was a little late to the party. Payan missed the entire first orbit of play before he showed up to the final table and played his first hand. That didn't matter though, as he was the last man standing on the felt with all the chips in front of him.
Payan defeated Rafe Kibrit heads up, but it wasn't easy. The two battled back and forth, swapping the lead a couple times. At first, Payan held the chip lead heading into heads-up play, but then Kibrit fought back to take pole position in the match. Payan never gave up though and fought his way back in front and then steadily applied the necessary pressure in order to finish off his opponent.

on the river, Payan fired 300,000 at Kibrit, who mucked his cards. As has been the pattern in this heads-up contest, Payan is currently riding a hot streak, but if the past few hours are any indication the momentum may just swing at any moment.

Showdown:
Payan: 
Kibrit: 
Payan was in the lead with his pair of queens and he had a flush draw to boot. Kibrit held just a pair of tens and a gutshot straight draw and needed help to arrive on the river to survive.
River: 
Kibrit's help had arrived in the form of a non-spade nine, giving him two pair for the double-up. The match is now nearly even again after both players had staked themselves to huge leads in the last few hours.

Rafe Kibrit raised to 100,000 from the button and Elie Payan came along for the ride.
Flop: 
Payan led out for a pot-sized bet of 200,000 and the action escalated in extreme fashion. Kibrit announced "re-pot" and before he could even touch his chips Payan repeated the phrase, making a massive reraise. Kibrit shoved his stack forward, flipped up his 
for two-pair, tens and sixes.
Payan tabled the 
for a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw, giving him plenty of outs to take the lead.
Turn:
One of Payan's plethora of outs was delivered and his rail exploded in celebration. Kibrit would need to fill up with a ten or six on the river to claim the victory.
River:
The river was a brick and Payan scored the massive double up, swinging the momentum in this match sqaurely back in his favor. He now sits with over 3,000,000 chips and, despite his Herculean efforts in staging a comeback, Kibrit finds himself right back where he started entering heads-up play.
