32 players came back for Event 7 final. In the final day the tournament format was set to shoot-out so each player needed to finish in the top two to get to the final table.

Melanie Weisnser started the day in the chip lead. She lost it earlier in the day but than managed to regain it, lost it again and was finally eliminated. Hans Dorn suffered similar fate. He first established the lead at his table but than lost it all to Billy Argyros, James Obst and Michal Polchlopek. Other two top chip counts at the start of the day, Mark Betts and Jamie Pickering, did not have any problems and made all the ways to the final table with good sized stacks. Other players who hit the rail before the final table was assembled included Joshua Foster, Radoslaw Kopec, George Moussa, Harry Demetriou and Aleks Brkovic.

Eight finalists had a short break and went back to the felt to play for the title. Obst was the first to bust out followed by Adam Cusenza, Oliver Speidel, Pickering, and Betts.

Howevr one massive hand changed it all when Polchlopek opened on the button and Prakhill called. The flop brought 2s, Jh, 5h.
