Garrett Dwire showcased an aggressive style during the final day, orchestrating several eliminations, including Mark Evangelista and Gerald Esposito. Entering the heads-up against German Amadeus Janotta, Dwire held a slight lead with 130 million to Janotta’s 101 million in chips.
Janotta managed to briefly take the lead during their hour-long duel, but couldn't derail Dwire’s momentum. In the pivotal hand, Dwire declared all-in with J d 3 s, while Janotta committed his remaining chips with A s 7 h.
Janotta looked poised for a double-up after the flop 9 s T h 6 c, but the turn J h swung the advantage to the home player. The river J c confirmed Dwire's victory and ignited jubilant celebrations.
