Following the elimination of Tony Clinton in 7th place, players continued for a few orbits before going on break. Players discussed ICM numbers during their break. Andrew Corniel was holding out on the deal because he said he wanted to win the trophy and he was 50k short of Ben Harris’ chip lead. After much deliberation and calling the clock on himself, Corniel eventually agreed to the 6-handed ICM deal and Harris won the trophy and $5,990 for 1st place.

Placement and Payouts
1 Ben Harris $5,990
2 Andrew Corniel $5,535
3 Jonathan Horowitz $4,345
4 David Nguyen $3,850
5 Jason Dearman $3,755
