The single day event attracted a field of 724 players, and after almost fifteen hours of play, finally reached a final table of ten. Then, in less then an hour, a champion was crowned.
Michael Spang had a double knockout in the opening minutes, when his pocket aces trumped Robert Weisman’s queen-jack and Hugh Crockett’s ace-queen in the same hand.
Shortly after, Nissar Quraishi earned his own double elimination, when he flopped a full house with his pocket sixes, defeating Jim Giannoukos who had pocket nines and an anonymous player who had ace-jack.
Quraishi sent Beike Chen to the rail in sixth place, before Ryan Brown eliminated Amit Zulkowitz in fifth place, leaving the event with just four players.
Steven McCartney, Nassir Quraishi, Ryan Brown and Michael Spang played for about ten minutes, before ultimately deciding to evenly chop the remainder of the prize pool, each collecting 29,100 for their efforts.
The four then agreed to do a flip to see who would be crowned champion. Once the board was spread out the players tabled their cards one-by-one. Steven McCartney had improved to a straight, which was enough to beat everyone else, and see him claim the title.
Howard Slawner moved all in preflop for around 25,000 only to have Amit Zulkowitz move all in over the top right behind. The rest of the field got out of the way and the cards were turned on their backs.

The board ran out and Slawner shook hands with Zulkowitz before making his exit. As Zulkowitz was stacking his chips, he looked at the dealer and simply said, 'I wanna kiss you.'
