Place	Player	Country	Prize
1st	Punnat Punsri	Thailand	$310,000
2nd	Daniel Colpoys	United States	$201,500
3rd	Daniel Negreanu	United States	$124,000
4th	David Peters	United States	$85,250
5th	Sam Soverel	United States	$54,250

Sam Soverel was the first player to bust on Thursday. He went out in fifth place and was knocked out by Daniel Negreanu. Negreanu had to come from behind to score the elimination when his ace-queen went up against Soverel’s ace-king. Negreanu found a queen on the turn to win.

David Peters entered the final day with the chip lead but things didn’t go his way. He ultimately busted in fourth when he jammed from the small blind with queen-sox of diamonds and ran into Punnat Punsri’s king-queen in the big blind.

Next out the door was Daniel Negreanu. By making the money, Negreanu had improved to more than $50,000,000 in career live tournament earnings, becoming the third player in poker history to eclipse that mark. His cash in this event was for $124,000 after his ace-queen went down to Punsri’s ace-ten.

Heads-up play didn’t last too long. Punsri began with the lead, quickly extended it, and then sealed the deal. On the final hand, Punsri check-raised all in on the river with two pair, jacks and deuces. Daniel Colpoys called it off with a worse two pair and was eliminated in second place.
