Event 22: Champion - Dimaya

$500 + $60
Hamilton Dimaya (Saddle Brook, NJ)
$19,933

After battling heads up with Angelo Modica for 75 minutes and surviving a grueling 5 1/2 hour final table, Hamilton Dimaya wins the tournament.

On the final hand Dimaya has A♠ Q against the A♣ 3 of Modica, but needs another river card to secure the win.

Flop: 5 3 K (Modica pair of 3s)
Turn: J♣ (Dimaya with gutter ball straight draw)

As the river is peeling off, Modica says, "keep it clean," but for the second time in heads up play
Dimaya hits his gutter ball when the 10falls on the river to give him an ace high straight.
