The chipleader of the final table was Nick Marchington with a stack of almost 10 million. He was followed by Jeff Madsen with a stack of nearly 5.6 million. At the other end was Masato Yokosawa with the smallest stack.

And it was Masato who was the first to leave the final day, taking home $155,550. Just ahead of the final heads-up was Jeff Madsen, who took home $341,750 for third place.

The final heads-up, pitting Nick Marchington and Joel Micka against each other, lasted just one hand. Nick had a huge 106 blind stack here and Joel held a stack worth 26 blinds. On the very first hand, both players hit a straight, but Nick had the higher hand and was the immediate winner.

Nick Marchington was the chipleader for the entire final day, and he didn't let any of his opponents have a chance. Nick took home $765,200 and the trophy to go with it. If his name sounds familiar, Nick sat at the final table of the 2019 WSOP Main Event. He was just 21 years old at the time and a poker rookie.
