The Belgian poker pro was solidly within the top of the chip counts for much of the day but really waited until the final two tables to make his move toward the top.
The final table began with very few big blinds between all the players and the eliminations came rapidly as the entire table took only 30 minutes to complete, with most of the hands being preflop all in battles.
Yuan Yuan "SunnySummer" Li entered the final table as the chip leader and at one point strengthened her lead but eventually Gathy would cut into that lead with several big pots and after Shankar Pillai was eliminated in third place, Gathy held a 2:1 chip lead going into heads up play.
Gathy would not relent in heads up as he did not allow Li to win many pots and quickly whittled Li’s stack down to a very short one before eventually securing his fourth bracelet.
