John Phan raised from the button making it 200,000 to go before Johnny Neckar announced he was all in. Phan made the call.

Phan: {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Neckar: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Phan held the chip lead and the best hand as the flop was dealt {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. There was no help for Neckar as the turn landed {4-Spades}. Needing a queen or jack on the river, Phan watched as the familiar {A-Spades} fell on the river to the roar of the rail as John Phan wins his first WSOP bracelet!

Congratulations to Johnny Neckar who put up a fierce showing in this heads-up battle as he collects $277,452 for his efforts
