During an interview with all top 3 candidates this is the media coverage after the tournament.

Sarah C: "I am just thankful for my luck on the cards, I want to give a big hand to all the participants, they were very hard in the final go. I never thought I would see this moment. I took a chance, rolled with it all night. Wesley should probably be in this position, I think one day, he will move on to nationals, and maybe beat my butt"
*Winner*

Wesley H: "You know, sometimes you wish for A, and you get B. On this hand, I didn't get what I wanted, I came in second place, and I have to be okay with that, hats off to Sarah. Brandin is one hell of an opponent, that guy has a big heart and big guts, you know, he's kind of hard to beat, he plays mind games (laughter), it kind of shocked a lot of people to see him knock out Eric Jamison, who in my opinion, being a 2 time Poker Champion, would have taken us all down with a blink of an eye"

Brandin S: "I just want to thank god for everything he has done. Without him first, I wouldn't have been in this position. Sarah is one heck of a player, not just her, but all 50 that took place in this battle. Congratulations Sarah, you taught me you can never bluff a female, joking of course. Knocking out one of the favorites late round, I never seen that coming, I had a media interviewer ask me, how do you go against 49 others, off 2-3 hours of sleep, I just looked at him and pointed up and said, when you ask god for a glass of water, sometimes, he delivers you gallons, that's a powerful person"

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
