Artem Metaldi was a massive chipleader with 1,523,000 chips followed by huge names such as Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Freddy Deeb, Taylor Paur, Eddie Blumenthal, Craig Bergeron, Scott Montgomery, Thiago Nishijima, Andrew Lichtenberger and Eugene Katchalov.
The final table formed on the 24th blind level, with the elimination of Scott Montgomery. The Canadian pro shipped all his chips to a flush draw, but the caller Simon Charette's top pair held. Big names such as Thiago Nishijima (18th), Eugene Katchalov (17th), Craig Bergeron (11th), Freddy Deeb (10th) és Andrew Lichtenberger (9th) were already out.

Simon Charette soon took a major pot from Metalidi, but the chipcounts were roughly even during the game.

The sixes held, which meant victory for the MTT pro Simon "pokerbrat13" Charette, who managed to win the event, which is a quite nice addition to his last year's runner-up finish at the WSOP $1,500 NLHE tournament.
