What was scheduled as a three-day tournament, turned into a four-day long event. The field of 1,956 was dwindled down to just two after Day 3, with Emile Schiff and Chris Klodnicki returning for a heads-up duel on an impromptu fourth day of play.
After 61 hands of the mano-a-mano fight, Chris Klodnicki came out on top. Klodnicki, with $9,009,141 in live tournament earnings before the tournament began but no WSOP bracelets, doubled up in a big hand with ace-king against ace-ten and never surrendered the chip lead he gained there.
Klodnicki had a WSOP Circuit ring already and finished runner-up in two of the biggest events at the WSOP (second in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship in 2012 and second in $111,111 One Drop in 2013), but now he finally may call himself a WSOP bracelet winner. He's $428,423 richer for it.
"It definitely feels more like a relief," Klodnicki said after winning.

Final Table Summary
On Day 3 of this event, which was planned as being the last day, 23 players returned from Day 2. The field quickly dwindled down to just 18 players. It took some time for the chip leaders to emerge from the pack, but when they did it was a furious battle. By the time the final tabled was reached, Klodnicki had a comfortable chip lead that he would not look back on for some time.
Dylan Hortin (ninth place - $34,083) was taken out by Klodnicki after his pocket nines were beaten on the river. After the dinner break, Aditya Sushant (eighth place - $44,255) was next to hit the rail after running his ace-king into the pocket aces of Schiff. Kenny Hallaert (seventh place - $58,083) put up a good fight on the final table, but just fell short. He was all in preflop against Schiff, but would end up losing to a straight.
Six-handed play lasted a couple levels until Darren Elias (sixth place - $77,047) got into a race scenario with jacks against Schuyler Thornton's ace-queen. Thornton made a flush and eliminated Elias. Ulrich Schnetter (fifth place - $103,281) stayed quiet for most of the night but eventually ran his ace-king into the pocket aces of Schiff again. Schnetter was unable to catch up and was sent to the rail.
Ben Zamani (fourth place - $139,896) fell victim to the Klodnicki comeback when he lost most of his chips with ten-eight suited against ace-four off. He was unable to connect with the board and was left with just one small blind. He was eliminated in the next hand. Then there was Thornton (third place - $191,453) who ran into the bulldozer of Schiff. He got all of his chips in the middle with ace-queen but Schiff rolled over kings. Thornton could not hit an ace and that led to the heads-up match between Schiff and Klodnicki.
After playing for a bit, they were presented with the option to play an extra level, or call it a day and return the next day. Klodnicki wanted the break: "I was kinda tired, my stamina is not what it used to be. I felt a little tired and I thought it would be better just going home and starting fresh."
They returned at noon with Schiff in the lead. Klodnicki, however, thought he had an edge. "Obviously, when the stakes are high, anything can happen. But I had a feel for his strategy, I started figuring it out a little bit. I developed my strategy based on it, and the cards worked in my favor."
Klodnicki won with ace-king to Schiff's ace-ten to double up and he stayed on top from there on out. With Schiff short, the shoving started. For some time, the all-ins went uncalled, but eventually, Klodnicki called with pocket threes. Shiff had nine-seven off and didn't improve.
"You gotta win these all-ins," Klodnicki said afterward, "No matter how good you play.
"I've been kind of having a bad summer," Klodnicki said. "I was making Day 2s lately, and I ended up winning this, which was shocking!" Klodnicki commented on his summer as a whole which improved massively toward the end with this win.
The latest WSOP bracelet winner won't jump straight into the Main Event; he plans to take some rest first. "I've done well in the Main Event and I'm sure I'll play fine. Hopefully [I can make] another deep run," Klodnicki said.
