A Flashback to Last Year's Final Table
Here's a look at how things ended in this very event last year as written about in our recap of the tournament:
The final hand occurred when Kyle Cartwright raised to 110,000 on the button and Asheesh Boyapati moved all-in for around 1.6 million. Cartwright called and was in great shape.

The board ran out and Boyapati was eliminated as runner-up. Cartwright became the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah’s St. Louis Main Event Champion, was awarded his third gold ring, and claimed the $142,290 first-place prize. In addition, given that Cartwright had previously qualified for the National Championship, the spot usually awarded to a Main Event winner will instead be applied to the National Leaderboard, meaning another point earner will be awarded a spot, courtesy of Cartwright.
