Spitale Wins Maiden Gold in Millionaire Maker 

Argentina's Franco Spitale won his first gold bracelet and $1,250,125 as he beat American Justin Carey heads-up battle for the Millionaire Maker title and his first-ever WSOP bracelet. In a record-breaking field of 10,939 entrants, Spitale's victory came after a final table where former bracelet winner Jason Hickey missed out on the really late stages of the final table, as six potential new winners went to the latter stages. 

Heads-up, Carey's pocket deuces couldn't hold against Spitale's ace-ten, and an ace on the turn did for Carey's stack, Spitale getting the win and as both men celebrated seven-figure scores, only one held the gold bracelet aloft.
