Alex Foxen and Daniel Negreanu led the final table on the last day of the tournament. Negreanu was second in chips, but twenty minutes into the final table, he climbed up the ladder to take the charge. 

Foxen scored the first elimination of the final table by sending out Nacho Barbero in 6th place, pocketing $52,000. Negreanu soon extended the lead by knocking out the table-short Nick Schulman in 5th place. Schulman collected $67,600 for his impressive tournament run. 

Ten minutes later, Negreanu sent Jeremy Ausmus to the railbirds in 4th place. Ausmus with just 4 big blinds moved all-in holding Ac-Kc-8s-3c. Negreanu called, rolling off his Kd-Jc-10s-7s. The board fell Js-9d-3d-Jd-6c to give Negreanu trips of jacks. Ausmus pocketed $93,600. 

PGT PLO Event #3 winner Matthew Wantman soon fell prey to the dominating run of Negreanu. Wantman busted out in 3rd place, adding $119,600 to his earnings. Because of his deep finish in Event 6, he leads the PGT PLO II Leaderboard. 

In the heads-up battle, Negreanu held 9,700,000 chips against Foxen’s 3,300,000. Negreanu didn’t give Foxen any time to chip up, as he soon eliminated him. The final hand saw Daniel Negreanu moving all-in post-flop with Ah-Qc-6c-2c. Foxen thought for some second but eventually called with Ad-10c-7d-4h. The board displayed Qs-10h-Qh-Ac-10d, giving Negreanu a full house. 

Negreanu earned $265,200 and his third PGT title of this season, while Alex Foxen collected the runner-up prize money of $171,600.

As the field whittled down to 9, Wantman was in the table short, but he found double-ups to chip up to lead the final 7 on the tournament’s last day. Eelis Parssinen was the first player to fall at the final table. He held a middling stack but lost most of it to Jonas Kronwitter, leaving himself with just two big blinds. Parssinen ended his tournament run in 7th place for $31,000. Eran Carmi soon followed Parssinen to the rail for a 6th-place finish, earning $38,750. 

Matthew Wantman extended his chip lead by knocking out Michael Duek in 5th place. Duek ran his Ad-9s-9c-3c against Wantman’s Kc-Js-10s-9h. The flop ran out 9d-8s-4d, but the 10c on the turn and the river 10h gave Wantman a higher full house. Duek banked $46,500 for his impressive run. 

Joe Serock, fresh off from his 8th place finish at the 2024 WSOP Main Event, bowed out in 4th place to bank $58,125. It was Sherlock’s third final table finish this year, pushing his earnings to nearly $5.9 million. Kronwitter scored his second elimination by sending Zachary Schwarts to the rail in 3rd place ($77,500). 

The Heads-up Play and Final Hand

Despite leading the final 7, Matthew Wantman headed into the heads-up play with 5,600,000 compared to Kronwitter’s 13,775,000 stack. 

Kronwitter soon left Wantman with less than three big blinds. However, Wantman doubled up, snatching the chip lead. The final hand saw Wantman open-raise with Ac-7s-6d-3s, and Kronwitter called from the big blind with Kh-10h-7d-5d. 

The flop brought Ad-Jc-9c, and Kronwitter shoved his remaining stack. Kronwitter flopped a double gutshot straight draw and needed an 8 or Q to complete a straight. The turn 2h and the river 5c, completed the board. 

Wantman’s ace pair held up to secure his second PGT Trophy and the prize money of $112,375. Kronwitter had to settle for his fifth six-figure score of $112,375 for his runner-up finish.
