1 - Dominik Panka, Poland, PokerStars qualifier, $1,423,096* 2 - Mike McDonald, Canada, PokerStars qualifier, $1,064,865* 3 - Isaac Baron, USA, $1,207,599*

Great to see new names coming through and winning these things. I agree with Pochui that it is very strange that the third placed player wins more than the second placed player. Congratulations to all again
