Marc Geissel:  KcKh9h9s8h
Carlos Damian Mora:  7d7c6c3d2h

The board came 10h6h2c3c10d, and Mora flopped two pair, but he was counterfeited on the river when the board paired. Geissel won the pot — and the title and the trophy — with a higher two pair, kings and tens.

Mora finished as the runner-up, earning $10,950.

Marc Geissel wins the event outright, earning $19,015. He also earned an extra $400 on this final hand, taking the $200 bounty on Mora as well as claiming his own bounty by winning the tournament.

Congratulations to Marc Geissel!
