*reflects a heads-up deal
Only the nine players that navigated their way to the nine-handed final table secured some of the $355,000 prize pool. Niklas "Lena900" Astedt busted in 11th, while Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle crashed out in tenth and popped the all-important money bubble.
"SerVlaMin" was the first of the nine finalists to fall by the wayside. Ninth place came with $11,067 in prize money. David "MissOracle" Yan ($12,671), fresh from his incredible performances at the 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, finished in eighth, "Phemo" ($16,917) fell in seventh, with Gavin "gavz01" Cochrane ($22,586) seeing his tournament in in sixth place.
Fifth place and $30,155 went to Joao "Naza114" Vieira, Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi ($40,261) joined Vieira on the rail, before Canada's "Stumpfed" ($53,753) exited stage left, sending the Titans event into the heads-up stage. Here, Muehlocker and Silva struck a deal to lessen the pay jump. Silva held the chip lead, as is evident by the difference in prize money, because Silva banked $85,680 despite busting in second place, with Muehloecker collecting a slightly lesser $81,905 and the title of champion.
