Only five players are guaranteed $245,000, so you can expect cautious play from short stacks and aggressive play from dominant chip leader Artur Martirosian.

Final Table Recap
With only five of the seven players making the money when play resumed, caution was expected from everyone apart from Martirosian. However, it took only a few hands for Chi Zhang to bust in seventh at the hands of Martirosian.
Martirosian moved further ahead as the ICM pressure built, before Chris Brewer was sent to the rail on the money bubble. He raised with ace-king and called a shove from Martirosian who held nine-three. Both players flopped a pair, but Martirosian improved to two pair on the river to eliminate Brewer and guarantee the remaining five players $245,000.
The aggression continued from Martirosian who, after the elimination of Buldygin in fifth, held 5.6 million of the 7 million chips in play. There were doubles for Johan Guilbert and David Peters, both through Martirosian, before Peters doubled again through Selahaddin Bedir.
Bedir would double once but ultimately succumbed in fourth. Guilbert followed him out the door for a new career-best cash and play was heads-up.
Heads-Up Play
If fans were expectating a short heads-up, they were mistaken. Peters would double twice during the early exchanges to cut Martirosian's chip lead. He would then secure a third double in a hand where Peters turned a straight and Martirosian rivered two pair, moving Peters into the chip lead.
Stacks leveled out, with the chip lead switching between the pair from hand to hand. Martirosian eventually eked out an advantage, only for Peters to double into the chip lead once again.
However, back came Martirosian who moved into the lead and closed it out at the next opportunity.
