This year's World Series of Poker (WSOP) fourth stop turned out to be something of an endurance test, with a record playing time of 12 hours 35 minutes at Harveys Casino Resort, reports the Tahoe Daily Tribune.

It turned out to be the longest final table in circuit history when the winner, a 39 year old property investor called Jeffrey Lisandro finally wrapped the game up at 3:15 a.m. with a pair of tens to take the top prize of $542,360.

Lisandro battled against Phil Ivey for two and a half hours in a 12-hour, 35-minute game, edging the 28-year-old who looked like he might take the grand pot with bluffs and persistence, and a pair of deuces in the end.
