It took an extra day to find a winner in the 10-Game Mix event at the WSOP - but, we found one! Chris Lee entered the second final day with the chip lead and came out victorius.

Lee eliminated third place finisher Travis Pearson on the second hand of the day and he never looked back, defeating Brian Haveson heads up.

Shaun Deeb placed fourth in the event and, although he doesn't pickup the bracelet, he does pickup his sixth PTPR Score of the season and re-enters the 2011 PTPR Player of the Year Leaderboard. His 39 PTPR Points elevate him to the ten spot - tied with Allen Bari.

Other notables in the Top 18 included: John D'Agostino, Don McNamara, Tad Jurgens, Dan Makowsky, David The Rapter Benefield and Matt Vengrin.
