As ever, the German players exerted their strength at the tables, with their highest-ranked player finishing in 14th place to take home $6,400, but as the players were whittled down to the final table it looked like being a UK-based player who\u2019d take the glory \u2013 and the cash \u2013 as three Brits made it to the final 10.<\/p>\n<p>It just wasn\u2019t to be, however. Despite a strong effort from third-placed Ninja232 and fifth-placed Lol1985, the big money was split between France\u2019s Popeye7111 and The Netherlands\u2019 mbalzack in a $302,500 deal made after a hard-fought heads-up contest in which neither player could win a decisive pot.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how the top five broke down:<\/p>\n<p>1.
