While Day 1b of the Main Event was being played in the Salle des Etoiles, the high rollers gathered in the Americas Room to play for hundreds of thousands of euros in a single-day event with a buy-in of €50,000.
A total of 52 players entered the event. With 12 reentries added, that made for a field of 64 entries and a prize pool of €3,104,000. €908,000 of that was allocated for the winner.
After 14 hours of play, Adrian Mateos walked away the winner with exactly that as he beat the final table without even so much of a thought of a deal.
