Surprisingly, Alex Jacob was considering for eventual winner, after he had the amazing 3,1 million chips in his stack. This was approximately 35% of all chips, with 9 players remaining at the table. But at the final table were Paul Evans and Ciarin O'Leary, who were second and sixth in chips. Both kept playing well, until they were 3-handed with Jacob. At this point, O'Leary played well and busted Jacob, who lost most of his chips. After that, O'Leary had a huge chip advantage over Evans. At the end, Jacob finished third with only $282k. With a huge chip advantage, O'Leary finished Evans very quickly and took his first WSOP bracelet and $727k. Paul Evans finished second with $450k.
