A whole host of big names made it through to the final day\u2019s action which took place on August 17.

Rui Ferreira<\/strong> busted in ninth-place to set the final table.<\/p>\n

Luke Reeves<\/strong>, Mark Davis<\/strong>, and Scott Margereson<\/strong> all fell in succession before Aliaksei Boika<\/strong> ran out of steam in fifth place. Brazilian star Bernado Dias<\/strong> crashed out in fourth and was the last player not to see their $5,200 buy-in turn into a six-figure haul.<\/p>\n

Third-place and $104,200 went to Daniel Smiljkovic<\/strong>, which left Nitsche and Vyacheslav Buldygin<\/strong> heads-up for the title. Nitsche brushed aside his final opponent and claimed the $200,650 top prize for himself, resigning his Russia opponent to secure the $146,050 consolation prize.<\/p>\n
