Briefly recapping the action, countless superstar players sought the gold such as Team NLG Manig Loeser and Natural8 Team Hot Ambassadors Pete Chen and Danny Tang. All three cashed. Bertrand Grospellier “ElkY” ran the deepest in 29th place.
To form the final 9, Alex Di Felice was denied a third final table berth when his 
missed its open ended / flush draw. The shove was on the turn against Camosci’s 
set on a board 
. This gave Camosci the lead entering the final table.
Among the players left were live tournament multi millionaires Connor Drinan, Damian Salas, and Dominik Panka “tiredfella”. All three players also had numerous cashes earned at the WSOP – however, no gold. One player already sporting a bracelet was Murilo Figueredo “muka82” who won it at the 2019 WSOP $1,500 HORSE event.
Kicking off the action, the first to fall were the three multi millionaires. On just the third hand of play, Aki Virtanen “Seabossss” railed Damian Salas (9th) with pocket Queens turned quads to dust pocket fives turned full house. Next out was Dominik Panka (8th) falling to Murilo Figueredo higher Ace kicker. This was followed by two more heads claimed by Virtanen. Connor Drinan (7th) lost the flip when ace-king suited missed the board against pocket sixes and Renato Valentim “MAIAAA” with ace-eight suited outdrawn by King-Queen offsuit that saw both cards pair up. With three quick busts collected, Virtanen took the lead, though briefly. Next showdown, Fitasov Alexander “xBGx” put the brakes on Virtanen by banking a double up with Aces over nines.
Five handed was the longest grind. Camosci took control and regained the lead after denying Figueredo (5th) a second gold. The momentum continued, Camosci won a big pot against Fitasov then took the rest with 
two pair to (hand above). This stacked Camosci with well over half of the chips in play. Omer Ozsirkinti “omeroz01” trimmed the gap by rivering Virtanen in 3rd place. Shoves were at the flop, Virtanen with a diamond flush, Ozsirkinti on a draw, the fourth diamond graced the river for the nut flush.
Heads up sped off with Camosci ahead 61 BB to 35 BB. He kept his lead intact throughout. The final hand arrived with Camosci 
, Ozsirkintti 
. The board 
for a victorious flush. Both players earned their largest WSOP cash.
