After Steffen Sontheimer was eliminated in ninth place, the money ranks were reached. With Seth Davies' bust in eighth, the unofficial final table was reached. The day ended with Stephen Chidwick's elimination in a blind battle against Jason Koon .

Koon had almost 50 big blinds, Nick Petrangelo and defending champion Christoph Vogelsang were short stacks .

On the day of the final, the short stacks Petrangelo and Vogelsang were quickly eliminated. Badsjakouski then lost his chip lead to Negreanu when he bluffed with A ♥ Q ♦ on board 7 ♣ 9 ♥ 5 ♣ 8 ♦ 9 ♦ and the Canadian held the straight with 6 ♦ 6 ♣ and called. In the blind battle with Bonomo, Badsjakouski was eliminated and finished fourth for $ 1.6 million. Then Koon with K ♣ 9 ♣ and Bonomo with K ♦ Q ♦ saw a flop of Q ♣ K ♥ 9 ♦ . On the turn, all the chips went into the middle and Bonomo was the clear chip leader, while Koon was now short and was eliminated a little later in third place. The American went into the heads-up between Bonomo and Negreanu with a 4-1 chip lead. Negreanu built his chip stack back up, however, the decision was made in favor then Bonomo when he takes on the flop 9 ♥ 6 ♦ 7 ♥ with 9 ♠ 9 ♦ All-In of Negreanu's 8 ♣ 7 ♦ called and held his hand.
