Une place dans les sept derniers survivants assurait 67 000€ pour un premier prix de 401 000€. Un peu plus de 12 heures après le coup d'envoi de l'événement, c'est finalement le Team Pro PokerStars Igor Kurganov qui levait le trophée après avoir battu JC Alvarado lors du dernier duel.
Une fois à égalité lors du head's up, les deux hommes avaient partagé les sous en deux en laissant 50.000€ à la gagne. Après un ultime affrontement d'une heure, le Russe empoche 371 270€ contre 319 750€ à son dauphin. C'est Christopher Kruk qui a complété le podium pour 185 000€.
Stephen Chidwick (4e - 140,000€), Thomas Muehloecker (5e - 108,000€), Vladimir Troyanovskiy (6e - 83,000€) et Erik Seidel (7e - 67,000€) n'ont pas terminé les mains vides. Igor Kurganov compte lui désormais plus de 14,5 millions de gains en carrière. C'est le joueur russe qui a le plus amassé d'argent de l'histoire du poker sur les tournois en Live.
