Wattson je po zmagi povedal: "It means a lot to win a Main Event with a big field and especially the PCA being one of the flagship events of the EPT, and really a premiere event in the whole poker calendar. It has special meaning to me that Steve Paul-Ambrose won it ten years ago. He was a mentor to me and that makes it extra sweet."
V heads-up igri mu je nasproti sedel Anthony "@wwwBTHEREcom" Gregg, za katerega je bila to že tretja finalna miza na PCA Main eventu. Leta 2012 je končal na šestem mestu, leta 2009 pa prav tako kot drugouvrščeni. 29-letni Američan, čigar skupni zaslužki na live turnirjih znašajo čez deset milijonov dolarjev, je po heads-up dogovoru dobil $612,175.
