Ivey had a tough time at the final table, starting in third place. After getting rid of Dylan Weisman in fifth, he had to make up for lost ground against Imsirovic, who knocked out Finlanders Eelis Parssinen in fourth and Joni Jouhkimainen in third. However, Ivey came out on top in the final showdown, winning several pots to take a 4-1 lead.
Imsirovic won a small double late, but that wasn't enough, and Imsirovic's big moment came when he flopped queen-jack-three, but Imsirovic was all smiles after the victory, basking in his return to form after playing a reduced schedule in recent years.
