A total of 1,545 entries showed up for this one by the time registration closed, which helped boost the $1 million guarantee to $1,174,200. There were 560 players still in the action when registration closed.
It took around an hour to play down to the money bubble at 225 players. "eungtae" was the unfortunate player to bust on the bubble, and it didn't take long to winnow the field from there.
By the next break, there were fewer than 100 players left in the game, but among them was GGPoker GGSquad member Kevin Martin. He made another deep run in a Ring event, but couldn't quite finish it out, ending his day in 21st place for nearly $6,500.
It took about two more hours to hit the final table, as Eder "BlueMoon" Campana bubbled the final nine after running a suited ace into pocket kings. One player who did survive to the final nine was Katie "ShantayUStay" Lindsay. She made the final table with a decent stack, but ran into ace-queen when she shoved her big blind with king-jack, and ended in 9th place.
They played down to five handed pretty quickly, then stalled for nearly five levels before Gabriel Schroeder's elimination in 5th started a cavalcade. Two more quick eliminations followed to set up heads up play between Korn and Yannick "ProbierEs" Schumacher.
They only played heads up for three hands with Schumacher starting HU in the lead. The biggest hand was the second hand in when Korn took a huge lead after his ace-high held against king-queen for Schumacher. Korn was at risk, but doubled to leave Schumacher short. His money went in the next hand, and Korn won it when king-high held.
Second place was worth $122,524 for Schumacher, while Korn bagged more than $163,000 for the win. Perhaps more important, his new ring will make a nice ensemble with his 2017 bracelet.
Heads up lasted three hands. The big chip-change happened on the second last hand, when Andres "chokitin" Korn was in at risk with ace-six against king-queen for Yannick "ProbierEs" Schumacher. The ace held to give Korn a huge chip lead. and the very next hand Schumacher got ten-nine in against king-queen suited and couldn't hold, despite flopping a straight draw.
