There was a wham-bam finish to this, going from three players to one in two hands.
The UK continues to punch above its weight with another British win for another player with an APAT flag. Britain had five players in the top forty, including "retired" James Akenhead. This was Mooorman's fifth cash of this year's Series.
Taiwan pro's Pete Chen and James Chen have set the poker scene alight in Asia, with James winning two tournaments at this year's Aussie and twice winning the Macau High Roller, while Pete won the recent WPT Beijing on top of numerous APT and Macau events. They were 27th and 28th in this, but future bracelets are likely, probably for both.

Tough event - Boatman, Greenstein, Dias and Bach were all near the top.
Barrie continues to pile up the points.

Another crazy-strong final table, won by Vitch, who was 10th in the $10k Omaha Hi-Lo and 5th in the 8-Game. Triple bracelet-winner Glaser was second and Abe Mosseri, winner of the $10k Omaha Hi-Lo, was third.
Of the 19 who cashed, 13 already have bracelets and the other 6 have all been on multiple final tables and have all had a couple of 2nd or 3rd places, except poor Mack Lee, who has only managed a lowly 5th.
Picking a winner in such a field on the basis of 'skill' is surely pointless. If everyone is an expert player, it must come down to cards received?
For the first time, everyone scored points. Once again, Barrie led the way, extending that lead once again.

Chino Rheem picked up $15k for 15th place, which will help towards the millions he owes lots of other players. How does he get the entry fees - are people still staking him?
These are a bit fuzzy, but this is 4th placed Eric Hicks:
And this is his hot girlfriend, with 'Go Eric' written across her, er, person.
Yeah, I know......
