The final World Poker Tour World Online Championships event of the series saw Michael Addamo win the heads-up battle against Isaac Haxton after both players guaranteed themselves $1.2 million in winnings. The fact that the winners only deserve half the headlines tells you what a dramatic finale it really was.

The day started with seven players remaining, but only six would be paid. Coming to play 7th in chips was British player Charlie Godwin, who won her $100,000 buy-in from a $109 satellite ticket on partypoker. The ROI on that ticket depended on who would bust first, 

With almost a quart of a million dollars for finishing 6th and nothing for coming 7th, it was all on the first player to bust and as it happened, that took an hour of nail-biting action, with Daniel Dvoress the unlucky player to leave with nothing. Busting to Sergi Reixach, his elimination meant everyone was in profit, although some a lot more than others. 

Next to go would be German player Christoph Vogelsang, and after he departed, Linus Loeliger couldn’t survive having drifted short.
