Final table

The first to leave the final table was Justin Gish, who earned 7,178 USD. Then Michael Estes (9822), Scott Sisler (12,466 USD), Jens Jensen (15,866 USD), and Aaron Johnson (20,777 USD) lost all the chips. The aforementioned Bohn, although he started the final table with a short stack, was able to eventually reach 4th place and get 27,577 USD. Mark Weber entered the top 3, receiving 37,399 USD.

Nguyen stopped being a chip leader shortly before the heads-up, passing Dan Dykhouse ahead. Nguyen had 2,775,000 chips, and Dykhouse had 7,000,000. However, Nguyen quickly doubled, and then in the key hand, he collected a straight and took the lead. In the final hand, Nguyen had A-8, and Dykhouse had 6-4. K-K-J-2-5 was distributed on the board, and Nguyen became the champion.

“It’s an amazing feeling, and I really have nothing more to say. I don’t really play too often, but when you guys come to town, I try to make sure to attend the tournament. It’s a great tour, and the staff is amazing, so I definitely come and play,” Nguyen said after the win.

Among the players who got into the prizes but reached the final table were Alex Wheeler (18th), Matt Alexander (20th), Terence Reid (37th), Max Havlish (38th), Ryan Skluzak (44th), and Adam Schultz (45th).
