Nick Binger and David Bach got back to it in Event #57: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Split. Binger started with a slight chip lead but Bach was able to wrestle that from him in the early stages of the heads up match, only for Binger to pull away to nearly a 2:1 chip lead. The pair got it in preflop as the blinds got high and left Bach needing a two outer on the river for a chop to save his tournament life. The card didn't come and Binger took down his second career bracelet and just under $400k.
The last NLHE preliminary every saw Hassan Anter start with a commanding chip lead over Nemer Haddad and Andy Philachack after the hard stop rule ended play the night before. Anter put his chip lead to good use by pressurising the smaller stacks until Haddad doubled up by eliminating Philachack after winning a coinflip.
Anter took a 3:1 chip lead into heads up play and continued to use it to devastating effect. He eventually busted Haddad after getting it in preflop with As4d against Haddad's Ad2c. The KQT all spades board brought a royal flush draw, part of which was completed on the 4s which fell on the turn sending Haddad to the rail. It is of course customary to deal the river card, and the Js fell on the river, completing the royal flush. That has to be the first time in history someone has won a bracelet with a royal flush? There's one to tell the grandkids...

A bracelet win with a royal flush?
Sounds like the perfect ending.
