After the elimination of Efthimios Piperakis in third place, Yuval Bronshtein and Victor Nassif played for a while, with Bronshtein taking the lead.

They seriously discussed a deal at one point with Bronshtein holding an 853,000-to-515,000 lead, but they couldn’t agree to terms.

They played another 15 minutes or so, and with the chip counts effectively unchanged in that time, they agreed to an even chop of the remaining prizepool. These were the final chip counts:

Yuval Bronshtein  –  848,000  (14 BB)
Victor Nassif  –  520,000  (9 BB)

As chipleader, Bronshtein was declared the winner and received the trophy. Here are the final payouts:

Yuval Bronshtein  –  $9,020 + LHPO Trophy
Victor Nassif  –  $9,020

Stay tuned for a recap from this event, which will be posted later tonight.
