Following the elimination of seven players, with Tim Stickradt bubbling the finale, the following Final Table seats were drawn (stacks are estimates):
Seat 1: Dan Martin – 1,130,000
Seat 2: Daniel Bishop – 260,000
Seat 3: Majid Yahyaei – 1,340,000
Seat 4: James Lee – 1,750,000

Seat 7: Masayuki Nagata – 832,000
Seat 8: Jason Duval – 800,000
Seat 9: Stephen Bartlett – 1,090,000
The first elimination took place after only six hands, on Level 25 (5,000/15,000/30,000). Joe Cappuccio shoved on James Lee’s 70,000 raise and Tommy Townsend also went all-in, on which Lee folded. Cappuccio showed K Q and Townsend played with A A , which held out on the J-J-3-T-3 board.
Two hands later, Daniel Bishop followed, and then came Stephen Bartlett, Dan Martin, Townsend and Lee. Right after the latter, on Level 28 (10,000/30,000/60,000), Jason Duval raised to 125,000 from the Button, Masayuki Nagata called from the BB and the flop came 4 3 A . Nagate check-raised to 285,000 and Duval called. Nagata 3-bet all-in on the 5 turn and Duval called again.
Duval: A 2
Nagata: A 5
River: Q
Nagata had only about 100,000 left in chips, which he lost to Duval in the next hand and the heads-up was set.
Majid Yahyaei – 5,025,000
Jason Duval – 4,495,000
Duval took over the lead quickly and he kept increasing his edge but the heads-up still took over two hours to finish. Finally, on Level 30 (10,000/50,000/100,000), they shoved on the A K 7 board.
Yahyaei: Q 2
Duval: Q 8
Turn: T
River: 8
Duval won the tournament with a pair of eights.
