The 2011 WSOP Main Event attracted 6,865 players and created a prize pool of over $64.5 million. The November Nine concept continued, and the final table would be headlined by American Ben Lamb while a total of seven countries were represented. After 119 of heads-up play - the most in WSOP Main Event history - Germany's Pius Heinz would defeat Czech Republic's Martin Staszko to win the $8,715,638 first-place prize.
