In the $3,000 NLH PKO on December 16, 582 entrants generated a prize pool of $1,018,500, which was more than double the $500,000 guarantee.

The top 71 finishers made the money including John Riordan (11th - $12,846), Brian Altman (16th - $8,039), Stoyan Madanzhiev (62nd - $4,402), Jerry Wong (64th - $4,235), Fedor Holz (65th - $4,235), and Nate Silver (71st - $4,235).

One familiar face at the final table was European poker legend Bruno Fitoussi, who jammed preflop holding the AK and found himself flipping against the 55 of Clemen Deng. The K5J flop gave Fitoussi a king, but it was no good as Deng improved to a set. The 3 turn closed the door on Fitoussi, and he exited in fifth place after the meaningless 7 was run out on the river.

On just the second hand of heads-up play, Dang moved all in with the Q5 and Leonard Carrillo called off with the 87. The board ran out a dry 6KAJ2 and Deng’s queen-high held to secure him the victory and the $92,750 PKO bounty.
