Erst in der Verlängerung wurde das Bracelet beim $2.000 No-Limit Hold’em der World Series of Poker 2016 (WSOP) vergeben. Letztlich konnte sich Cesar Garcia sein erstes Bracelet für $447.739 sichern.
Schon an Tag 3 war zwei Stunden lang Heads-up gespielt worden, ehe man vertragte. Als Chipleader ging Viliyan Petleshkov ins Finale, doch schon kurz nach Beginn änderten sich die Machtverhältnisse. Mit 
war Cesar Garcia am Flop 
gegen 
all-in, der Turn 
brachte mehr Outs für Viliyan, aber der River 
war eine Blank.
Damit war nun Cesar Garcia 2:1 vorne und diesen Vorsprung gab er auch nicht mehr aus der Hand. 15 Hände nach dem Verdoppler limp-raiste Cesar Garcia mit 
all-in, Viliyan Petleshkov entschloss sich mit 
zum All-in Call. Das Board 
änderte nichts und so konnte Cesar Garcia über das erste spanische Bracelet bei dieser WSOP jubeln.
