It was a very swingy heads-up game, with both Ali Khani & Neil Smith holding the chip lead multiple times, with chances to win it or bust. Khani started the final phase with the lead, but it switched back and forth at least three times through the 3-level heads-up.
In the end, all Khani needed was a king. Just before the final hand, Khani doubled back to the lead when he rivered a straight to cap the set of kings for Smith. Shortly after, they got all the money in on a flop of 7♣6♦2♠ with Khani on backdoor spades and overs with A♣K♠J♠9♦, while Smith was open-ended with Q♠J♥9♥8♣. Khani spiked a king on the turn, and the 8♠ river wasn’t enough for Smith to jump ahead.
This was Khani’s sixth live win, and his second PPT trophy, with his first coming at the 2026 PPT 1 in the $1,100 PLO Main Event. Khani added 10 bounties ($2k) to his $8,805, while Smith added 9 bounties ($1,800) to his $6,065.
