Finland\u2019s Eelis Parssinen<\/strong> was the unfortunate soul who burst the bubble. His 13th place finish meaning the surviving players guaranteed themselves at least $27,124.<\/p>\n

Elio Fox<\/strong>, Justin Bonomo<\/strong>, Chris Hunichen<\/strong><\/a>, Juan Pardo Dominguez<\/strong> and Wiktor Malinowski<\/strong> all busted inside the money, but before the final table.<\/p>\n

Heads-up pitted Foxen against Russia\u2019s Artur Martirosian<\/strong>. No deal was struck despite there being more than $100,000 difference between first and second place. This mean Foxen banked $309,677 when he emerged from the battle victorious, leaving Martirosian to walk away with $193,050.<\/p>\n

Timothy Adams<\/strong> busted in eighth-place and burst the money bubble. Juan Pardo Dominguez<\/strong> collected the seventh-place prize, namely $65,312 before Chris Hunichen<\/strong> banked $79,062 for his sixth-place finish.<\/p>\n

United Kingdom-based Australian Michael Addamo<\/strong> fell in fifth and won $96,250, the last player not to reel in six-figures for their $25,500 investment. The first $100,000+ winner was Canada\u2019s Sam Greenwood<\/strong><\/a> who got his hands on $123,750 when his tournament ended abruptly in fourth-place.<\/p>\n

Germany superstar Ole Schemion<\/strong> couldn\u2019t quite get the job done and had to make do with the $206,250 third-place prize. Schemion\u2019s exit left Sergi Reixach<\/strong> and Elias Talvitie<\/strong> to battle it out one-on-one for the huge top prize.<\/p>\n

It was Finland\u2019s Talvitie who was the last man standing, hit reward was a cool $481,250. Reixach, who won British Poker Open event in September 2019, consoled himself with a bankroll-boosting runner-up prize of $323,125.<\/p>\n
