The event, with a buy-in of $160, saw 1,447 players register and those players made 632 rebuys to get a total amount of 2,079 players. They created a total prize pool of $311,850 with 162 places paid. It took a while to get to the money but in the end, it was "DrMiKee" who was the last player finishing empty-handed.

After making the money it took a long time before the tournament was down to the last nine. After eleven hours the remaining nine players made the final table and went on to play for a $53,014.50 first prize. For "janwest030" (ninth - $3,367.98), "mario73m" (eight - $6,081.07) and "wiissspppaa" (seventh - $9,199.57) it wasn't a big success on the final table, because they left quite early.

Not much later, Phil "PRoyal888“ Mighall finished in sixth place for $12,318.07 after losing all his chips with king-nine. He was followed to the rail by "lasochobi" (fifth - $15,436.57) and "bluecheek" (fourth - $21,205.80) who both won some nice money. From that moment on, it was Brazilian "Xandee1991" dominating the tournament.

He took a commanding chip lead against his two opponents and won almost every pot he played. In the end, it was "kevlar1991" who busted "MommyTosier" to get heads-up with the Brazilian. "kevlar1991" had to fight against the big time chip leader and the first time the money went it, the tournament was ended. "Xandee1991" had {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} against {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and flopped a set of fives on a {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}-flop. The turn {9-Clubs} sealed the deal and the {4-Spades} on the river couldn't change anything.

"kevlar1991" had to settle for second place, while "Xandee1991" could celebrate his victory after thirteen hours of play!
