After being down to 600,000 heads up against his opponent's 7.6 million, Rory Anderson mounted an amazing comeback to win Event #1 $600 NLH. On the final hand, Rory's [Ah][Td] bested Peter Wagner's [Kc][8c] after a preflop all in. The [6d][4d][3s][9d][7d] kept Rory's ace high in front to collect the last of his opponent's chips.
Rory will collect $46,568 for his 1st place finish along with the World Poker Finals trophy and title, Rory explained he doesn't play tournaments often, and winning the title after having such a huge chip deficit makes the win even sweeter. In Rory's winner photo, he proudly displayed his ALS Challenge T-Shirt as his friend popularized the viral sensation. He will certainly go enjoy the cigar he's been chomping on for most of this final table, and his earlier statement that he is the best player in the room can currently go unchallenged. Congratulations, Rory.
