It was one heck of a roller coaster ride, but, in the end, Will "The Thrill" Failla is ok with that.
Failla entered final table play on Tuesday with a solid chip lead. Just a few hours after the cards were in the air, Failla found himself in last place and was bleeding chip. But then, a breakthrough. On the heels of big pot victories over Owais Ahmed and Keith Aldridge, Failla grabbed control of the WPT Legends of Poker and never looked back - collecting his first WPT Main Event title.
Failla has had a lot of tournament results, however, this one is more special for sure - just ask his loud rail, they will tell you!
The thrill of victory for Failla, for sure!
