The quest for the top prize money and title was quite breezy, with the money bubble happening almost exactly when the Main Event in the same room concluded. Twelve players are set to take home a share of the prize pool, and the unlucky bubble boy award went to Damian Salas as he busted in 13th place.
Going into the final heads-up was between Rodrigo Seiji and Farid Jattin, who both had an even chip count at the start but it didn't take a long time for a winner to be declared.
Seiji lost nearly all of his stack in a huge clash with K

against Jattin's A

, leaving the Brazilian with just 3,400,000. He then doubled up with A-Q against 7-5, then with J-6 against A-Q, and then with 8-4 against 8-2.
In the final hand, he lost with Q-2 against A-6, making Jattin the champion.
Seiji ends up with $129,800 for the runner-up finish while Jattin takes home the trophy and the $200,000 top prize money.
