Many notables joined the field throughout the day and some fortunate enough to find a cash included Jeff "NedrudRelyt" Madsen (72nd - $1,390), Ryan "Protential" Laplante (34th - $1,473), and high roller regular and recent bracelet winner Alex "OrcinusOrca" Foxen (14th - $2,475).
It took nearly nine hours to get down to a final table and things picked up pretty quickly with the 2021 Event #61 $600 Deepstack Championship winner Cole "anniemay" Ferraro hitting the rail in eighth place. Soon after Paul "rungood27" Scaturro would bust in seventh, Alex "SunDSolar" Soares would exit in sixth and David "CountStacula" Powers would be eliminated in fifth.
Popular PokerGo commentator Jeff "mavsusc" Platt, who cashed in both WSOP bracelet events on Sunday, made another deep run and hoped to capture his first ever bracelet but was sent to the rail in fourth when he got pocket tens in against the ace-ten of Hoop and was outdrawn to become the short stack and would soon after bust with two-pair against a set. Jeremiah "freestylerr" Williams, the last bracelet winner standing, would exit in third place.
When heads-up play started Faro had a 4-1 chip lead and the battle lasted a while with Hoop doubling up a few times before Faro would finally close it out and capture WSOP gold, sending Hoop out in runner-up position.
