The decisive fourth day kicked off with just seven players remaining. Jean-Robert Bellande was one of the main contenders for the title, aiming for his second career gold bracelet. However, the final day turned sour for Bellande as he experienced one setback after another.

First, he lost with 6-6 against Zazay's 4-4, when Zazay found a four on the turn to complete a full house. Shortly after, he lost with 7-7 against Argyriadis' 6-6, another full house hit. To add to his woes, his aces failed him in a clash against J-J. 

The final heads-up began with Zazay in the lead, and his battle against Bellande didn't last long. The decisive hand saw Zazay calling Bellande's all-in with A d 2 h against J s T d. The board 7 c 6 c 2 s ​​​​​​​Q d ​​​​​​​K h sealed Zazay's monumental achievement.
