Only a day after we saw Bicknell win the $1,500 bounty at the World Series of Poker, Safiya Umerova beat Niall Farrell heads-up to be the second lady in two days to win a bracelet. Out of 1,050 runners, Umerova turned out the strongest, taking home $264,046 and the bracelet.
Twelve players returned on the final day, and after Sam Greenwood and Erkut Yilmaz were eliminated, the unofficial final table was set. This wouldn't last long for Vanessa Selbst, she lost a coinflip for her tournament life and was out in 10th.

, Daniel McAulay 
and Yulian Kolev 
. After the flop it looked like McAulay would bust two players, as the flop came

was safe as well, but Kolev spiked the miracle 2-outer on the 
river to stay alive, sending only Tang home.
McAulay busted in 7th when his ace-three couldn't suck out on Farrell's 7's. One hand later Raymond Ho lost a flip for his tournament life and finished in 6th.
Niall Farrell then busted Salas and Kolev in one hand, his jacks held against Salas' king-queen and Kolev's ace-seven on a board of

In the final hand, Umerova's were enough to seal the deal against Farrell's when the board ran out 
.
