Daniel Santoro
Santoro defeated a tough final table that included reigning WPT Player of the Year Andy Frankenberger, former chip leader Steven Brackesy and top-notch poker pro Christian Harder, who finished runner-up after a lengthy heads-up battle that lasted several hours.
Of the 200 hands played at the final table, more than half of them occured during heads-up play. Harder and Santoro exchanged the lead several times before a coin flip settled the match.
With Harder closing in on the lead, he raised on the button, only to get three-bet from the big blind by Santoro. Harder moved all in and Santoro snap-called with A
K
. Harder’s pocket tens were a slight favorite in the race situation, but a board of J 8 5 2
K saw his tournament run come to an end.
For Harder’s second-place finish, he took home $248,962. Santoro pocketed $449,910, a $25,000 seat into the WPT Championship and the WPT Champion’s Cup.
