Jacob Baumgartner: A♠Q♦
Alec Magdan: A♥3♥
Baumgartner's superior kicker proved to be helpful on the flop of A♦9♠2♦, but the turn 3♠ gave Magdan aces up to pull ahead. Baumgartner was unable to improve on the river 5♦ and the HPT champion shook hands with Magdan as he became the first ever Great Lakes Poker Classic Main Event champion.
