$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 34: 200,000/400,000/50,000 Ante

When the players returned from their break, they decided to use the official chip counts that were taken to run the numbers on a potential chip chop.

The average chip stack had about 15 big blinds, and there were two short stacks, three middle stacks, and three big stacks — but nobody was running away with it. When they saw the chip-chopped prizepool as determined by a computer, everyone quickly agreed to the chop.

Leonard Benitez was the chipleader, with 275,000 more than Richard Zipes, so Benitez won the trophy. Congratulations, Leonard!
