George Danzer will win the title with 923.5 points to Shack-Harris' 829.2. Both put on an absolutely amazing run at the title that involved three lead changes here at the WSOP Asia-Pacific alone.

With the victory, Danzer will forever be placed in poker history as the 2014 WSOP Player of the Year. He will earn an entry to the 2015 WSOP Main Event worth $10,000, but the title is priceless.
