Heads-up was set when Vogelsang crashed out in third, a finish worth a cool $525,000, after a clash with the seemingly unstoppable Addamo did not go to plan. Vogelsang’s final hand started with him raising a shade over twice the big blind to 440,000 with and Addamo calling with . The flop fell , Addamo checked, Vogelsang continued with a 316,500 bet only for Addamo to check-raise to 1,120,000. Vogelsang called. The turn improved Vogelsang to two pair, but a lesser two pair than that of Addmo. Addamo led for 2,194,469 and called when Vogelsang ripped it in for 7,409,740.

Addamo held an 18,442,720 to 16,557,280 chip advantage over Florian Loehnert who had started the final table as the chip leader.
