How the Super High Roller Bowl XI Final Table Played Out

Alex Foxen ACR Poker pro returned for the final day as the chip leader, with Nick Petrangelo, Brandon Wilson, Adrian Mateos, and Jeremy Ausmus all in contention for the title. Wilson had narrowly avoided elimination on the bubble the previous day, but he soon gained momentum at the final table by doubling up on Foxen and taking control of the chip lead.

Adrian Mateos was the first of the final five to go, followed by Ausmus, who lost a blind-versus-blind all-in against Petrangelo. Foxen then finished third after running into Wilson's pocket pair, setting up a heads-up battle between Wilson and Petrangelo.

The final duel did not last long. Nick Petrangelo attempted to win a major pot with a triple-barrel bluff, but Wilson made the call on the river to secure the title and the $1,125,000 first-place prize.
