I disagree that Jacobsen and Stephenson were the best at the final table.  Stephenson played pretty "blah" IMO, and he got like 9 pocket pairs heads up while Jacobsen got only 1 pocket pair and Jacobsen still schooled him.

The best players at the Final table were, IMO

#1 Jacobsen
#2 Van Hoof
#3 Newhouse

I know Newhouse blew up his stack early and busted 9th but he was actually TRYING to win the damn thing unlike everybody else who was just trying not to bust out 9th...and while his exit bluff looks dumb to us at home with the benefit of seeing the hole cards, but that bluff should work like 60-70% of the time putting him in a nice position to take it down.  He put his opponent on a hand and put him to the test and went for the kill...How many of you could make that call with QQ right there? I mean, really?  Newhouse didn't have to play that hand that way, he could have played it safe and coasted into 5th or 6th place...but the man came to play.
