Quant au classement des trois premiers lorsqu'ils ont repris la partie, JJ a été éliminée en 3ème place, Ulises Roman s'est retrouvé deuxième et le short stack parmi les trois, Nicholas Sliwinski, a remporté le trophée.Le Main Event est l'un des plus gros prix que Liu ait remporté.On notera par ailleurs que Sliwinski s'était fait récemment remarquer lors du WSOP Main Event, où il avait fini 13ème, pour près de 500.000$ de prix.
