It was a tough assignment for Adam Elpayaa - win a big event, collect your first big victory of your career oh, and try and defeat well known experienced pros along the way.
Well, Adam Elpayaa did just that, and did it in fine fashion - besting Jonathan Neckar heads up.
The chip leader heading into FT play was Tim Kahlmeyer - although things didn't go well for him, he wasn't able to grab control of the table and ended up in sixth position.
WSOPC New Orleans Regional runner-up Gary Friedlander was one of the favorites heading into final table play - he played a fine game, finishing third on the day.
Dan O'Brien had the twitter rail going - many of his friend hoping he could pull out a win - but alas, a respectful 5th place finish will have to do.
Both Friedlander and O'Brien have crossed the century mark in PTPR Points for the season.
William Reynolds, Sam Grizzle, Jonathan Little, Tony Cousineau, Matthew Waxman and Jennifer Tilly were some on the outside looking in, but, were still able to collect a little cash in the event.
Here are the final table payouts:
1 Adam Elpayaa $420,092
2 Jonathan Neckar $254,860
3 Gary Friedlander $170,665
4 Robert Zlatkiss $119,028

6 Tim Kahlmeyer $70,017
7 Dustin Graves $59,164
8 Anthony Gregg $49,012
9 Tony Sinishtaj $42,010
