Final Day progress
Forty players made it to the final day and the German representative with the nickname "Zappa" was at the top of the leaderboard. He had a stack here worth 13,375,000. However, Italian player Antonio Fragale sat at the 9-seat final table as chipleader and had a stack as high as 47,100,000.
When play got down to the last three, the players worked out an ICM deal together and were down to the trophy. Unfortunately, we don't know what the deal looked like, as it wasn't official. After this deal, German player "Grinder OG" finished in third place and Antonio Fragale and "Zappa" battled it out in the final heads-up.
"Zappa" entered the final heads-up as the chippleader, holding a stack of 105,500,000. His Italian opponent had a stack of 68,600,000. The heads-up lasted up to 3 hours, after which the winner was the Italian player Antonio Fragale. He took care of as many as 5 eliminations at the final table. Congratulations!
