According to updates from the event, the last three players held relatively similar stacks but Chanpiseth Keam was ahead of the other two. It took very little time for the three remaining players to reach an agreement to chop up the remaining prize pool and crown Keam as champ.

Others to cash the tournament were Mike Newman (13th - $2,160), Joel Harwood (16th - $1,706), Richard Rice (23rd - $1,339), Jason Appel (30th - $1,188), and Matthew Kuba (40th - $1,080).
