So at the end it came down to two limit champions from this year, Marc Naalden, only the second ever Dutch Bracelet winner and Greg Mueller, who won the Championship $10,000 Limit event.
Both players were early chip leaders and the heads up battle swung both ways with Naalden having whittled Mueller down to about 1,000,000 at one point.
