Polk settled for second place and $313,362.

Reflecting on his victory, Khun expressed a mix of relief and joy: "I feel really good. I’m relieved. And it’s tough to find any words, but it’s a mix of emotions. But at the end of the day, I’m really, really glad it’s over." He acknowledged Polk's skill, stating, "I knew he was really, really good, so I just tried to do my best. And so yeah, I was just luckier than him today."

Khun is known for a methodical and adaptable style, particularly in heads-up and mixed-game formats. His victory over Polk, widely considered one of the best heads-up players, underscores his strategic depth.

His online background honed his ability to read opponents and exploit weaknesses, traits that shine in high-pressure situations.

While he has not yet repeated his WSOP success, his consistency in high-stakes events suggests he remains a threat in any format.
