A total of 1,054 entries were made within the event, but in spite of everything Vayo struck a five-way deal that saw him secure the title and a payout of $587,120. Vayo was also awarded 1,440 Card Player Player of the Year points for the win. This was his first final table score of the year, outside of creating the WSOP world championship final table. He's going to return to play out that event this fall, entering the overall table in third chip position. Because of winning this event he now sits in 126th place within the standings.
If Vayo were to win the principle event he could be awarded 3,300 points, which currently could be enough to position him into third place within the rankings.
The final five’s decision to make a deal was likely influenced by the truth that the development featured a $1 million guaranteed top prize. The adaptation between first and second place was to be larger than $700,000 if the players stuck to the official payouts. Vayo held a commanding lead with over half the chips in play when the deal was struck and ultimately was awarded greater than 20 percent of the full prize pool in accordance with the ICM numbers the general five agreed upon.
Joining Vayo on the final table of this event were Danny Fuhs (9th – $32,623), Chino Rheem (7th – $54,288), Grant Hinkle (5th – $207,669) and Layne Flack (4th – $225,190).
