A field of 378 entrants created a $378,000 prize pool where half went on the heads of each entrants with the top 47 finishers sharing the other 50%. Such luminaries as Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson, Ivan "zufo16" Zufic, and Marius "DEX888" Gierse cashed but failed to progress to the eighth-handed final table.
"aminolast" did reach the final table but their time there was short-lived bcause they busted in eighth place. With bounties included, aminolast walked away with $6,40.
Seventh place and $9,434 went to "000000000136" of Malta, which was the last prize not to tip the scales at five figures. "BBRS999" of Croatia and "Gratitdude" of Estonia saw their tournaments end abruptly, although the $12,251 and $15,073 they scooped will go some way to numbing the pain.
"Seunghun" secured a $21,013 payout all the way over in South Korea before "DaniC19941893" of Brazil crashed out in third for $24,155, which left Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker and Campana heads-up for the title and a huge bounty payment.
Both heads-up players banked $30,286 from the main prize pool but the final bounty payment up for grabs was even larger than that prize. Muehloecker fell at the final hurdle and added $9,294 to his main prize pool payout. However, Campana added a cool $43,974 to his payout for a combined prize of $39,580.
