Mao took home $402,588 after defeating a field of 4,747 entries over three days of play. The win marked a triumphant return to Las Vegas and his first experience at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas as he was unable to travel since his run into the money in the 2019 WSOP Main Event. Mao earned his tenth career WSOP cash, though the win represented a larger prize than all previous results combined.
