The final event drew a field of 70 entries, with a $1,050,000 prize pool distributed among the top 10 finishers. Renowned players like Stephen Chidwick, Sean Winter, and Nick Petrangelo cashed but fell short of making it to day 2 action.

In the three-handed action, Brock Wilson, Kristen Foxen, and Peters engaged in lead changes. Ultimately, Wilson succumbed in third place ($141,750) after a clash with Foxen.
The heads-up play began with Peters holding a significant chip lead over Foxen. In the final hand, Foxen’s all-in move with J♥10♣ was called by Peters holding A♣4♣. The board favored Peters with A♥2♥2♣3♦J♠, securing the title and sending Foxen to the rail with $204,750 for her runner-up finish.
Foxen, who has made six final tables in 2024, sits in seventh place in the POY standings and second in the PGT points race. Her lifetime tournament earnings now exceed $8.2 million, making her the second-highest-earning female player, with Vanessa Selbst holding the top spot at $10,899,027.
