David Reese, a successful poker pro, recently won $1.8 million in the $50,000 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. tournament at the 2006 World Series of Poker held at the Rio All Suite Casino & Hotel. Reese was quoted as saying, "It was anybody's ballgame, but I won the match. [...] It was special to win because all my friends wanted to win it too."
The final table lasted 12 hours and saw nine poker pros, with the final two competitors, Reese and another poker master Andy Bloch, playing for a record seven hours and 10 minutes of heads-up competition. The previous record for heads-up play at the World Series of Poker, as many as seven hours, took place at the WSOP main event in 1983.
The list of prominent poker players who took part at the final table included top poker world celebrities, such as two-time WSOP World Champion Doyle Brunson, 1993 WSOP World Champion Jim Bechtel, Phil Ivey and T.J. Cloutier. The competitors at this table had won 27 World Series of Poker gold bracelets among them.
