Coming out on top of that event was David Moses of Greenville, South Carolina, who captured a $149,595 first-place prize after defeating poker pro Justin Zaki in heads-up play.

According to updates from the event, 72 players advanced to Day 2 with 48 of those making the money. Others to cash the event were Peter Vitantonio (11th - $12,516), John Dolan (12th - $12,516), Alex Rocha (15th - $10,598), Kevin Eyster (19th - $7,221), Wasim Assaf (28th - $4,167), Barry Brown (39th - $3,779), Andrew Kelsall (44th - $3,779), and Raymond Sykes Jr. (48th - $3,485).

In the final hand of the tournament, Moses had pulled out to a slight lead in the heads-up match. In Level 31 (100,000/150,000/150,000), Zaki raised to 350,000 and Moses jammed.

“I’m leaning call,” Zaki said as he hit the tank. Eventually, he did call off his stack holding ace-eight only to see he was pipped by Moses, who held ace-nine. The board ran out ten-high meaning the kicker came into play and Zaki had to settle for second place and a $104,750 consolation prize.
