After that, Patrick Liang pulled two bounties from the chest and pocketed a combined total of $1,025,000. Being a generous soul, Liang decided to gift $1,000 to every player at his table when he won the million.
Finally, Brown shipped this event and pocketed $1,000,000 for his top-place finish. Brown beat Guang Chen in the heads-up to nail the title. Chen walked home with $561,320 for his second-place finish.
