But before that, an amazing three-way all-in battle took place at the final table, which he wasn't even involved in.

Ultimately, Toro Henao lifted the trophy, winning the biggest prize of his career. He emerged victorious from a field filled with top players. Those who made it to the next level included Roberto Romanello (37th), Nicholas Seward (31st), Daniel Maor (29th), Harrison Gimbel (18th), Aram Zobian (14th), Shannon Shorr (13th), Jared Jaffee (9th), Scott Bohlman (5th), and Joseph Cheong (3rd).
