Brett Faustman wrestled his way to a new piece of jewelry, entry to the World Poker Tour championship this spring, and $892,413 in prize money at the Mississippi Gold Strike Casino & Resort yesterday.

After starting off in second place, the young insurance salesman and former poker dealer meandered his way through until all players but Hoyt Corkins had fallen off the table, then beat him with a pair of pocket queens.

The rest of the final table:

2. Hoyt Corkins, $458,267

3. Men Nguyen, $241,193

4. Freddy Deeb, $168,835

5. Gabe Costner, $123,008

6. John Spadavecchia, $96,477
