Main Event
There were 108 entrants to the main event. Each paid $10,000 to enter the tournament. Doyle Brunson fell just short in his attempt to win the main event for what would have been a record-tying third time when he finished third. Rod Peate and Tom McEvoy went on to play the longest heads-up match in World Series history until 2006. The match lasted over seven hours. McEvoy emerged victorious becoming the first player to win the main event via a satellite tournament. Donnacha O'Dea was the first foreign player ever to place in the money at the WSOP.[2]

Notes
gollark: Yes, then. Just trying to be clear.
gollark: Do you want every language to be Haskell?
gollark: PRs welcome!
gollark: It just seems like worse Go, though, honestly.
gollark: It's successful, ish, in that their compiler got 18k github stars, and whatshisname seemingly attracted tons of people to work on it.
