Para Ebanks esta vitória foi a realização de um sonho como podemos ver nas suas declaraçôes: "It is a dream come true. It was what I've been working towards. It is the reason I got into poker seven years ago. I wanted to win a World Series of Poker bracelet and I won it in one of the best events to win it in," "I think I handled [the pressure] pretty well, but I definitely made many mistakes because of pressure. I think I was pretty lucky to win as well. I ran pretty well,I don't know."
