It ended up being Yorane Kerignard and Jacskon Genovesi, the two chip leaders when the final table begun, who battled it out for the WPT Malta title and the top prize of $182,292. The heads-up started after four-hours of three way action that ended with Genovesi eliminating WPT Champions Club member Alessio Isaia in 3rd place.
Genovesi had the chip lead and most people expected him take down the whole thing because he had been in the lead for 3 successive days. Kerignard started the heads-up by taking down a big pot, which evened out the score a bit. Then it didn't take long Kerignard took down another big pot and held a two-to-one chip lead 
over Jackson Genovesi. Shortly after Genovesi had taken the lead, the final hand was played...
Genoversi opened up the pot with a 125,00 bet, and then ended up calling a 260,00 three-bet from Kerignard. The flop came down T

and Kerignard betted 210,000. A few moments later, Genovesi announced that he was all-in for his remaining 1,200,000. Kerignard took off his sunglasses, checked his cards and smiled at Genovesi. He counted the chips that was required to make the call and quickly found out that he would have about 1,600,000 left if he made the call. After almost two minutes of thinking he made the call.
"I think I got him, "said Genovesi before showing T
9. Kerignard turned over A3.
"Just blank it out...I don't care what you do just blank it out," said Genovesi.
The dealer burned a card and put out the 3 on the turn. Both players were standing up when the dealer was preparing to show the final card. Genovesi couldn't believe his eyes when the A landed on the river. His dreams of a WPT title had been crushed.
Genovesi was crying, Kerignard was crying and the crowd were crying. It was like an emotional scene taken from a Hollywood movie. Kerignard was the WPT Malta Champion and received the first place prize of $182,292! Genovesi received $108,024 for his second place finish, but it took some time before he could smile.
