Daniel Negreanu may be the biggest story of the night but he did not have the biggest rail. That honour went to Franco Spitale of Argentina.
A record field in Las Vegas as 10,939 players attended the $1,500 Millionaire Maker, up from last year’s high of 10,416.
A rail even bigger than Daniel Negreanu’s came to support Franco Spitale of Argentina as he defeated Justin Carey for the bracelet. Both men became millionaires in the process.
You are unlikely to see anything more dramatic in poker as the final hand….enjoy!

The $1,250,125 win doubled Spitale’s career earnings. His lifetime total now stands at $1,931,188, which puts him in 11th place in the Argentina All-Time Money List.
A delighted champion spoke after the win:
“It’s still, it’s hard for me to believe it. You know, it’s too much. Really? I dreamed about this all my life. I promised my little girl, I have a daughter called Emma that the next trophy would be for her, so this trophy is for her.”
