Johnny Dalphond was in control for most of the final table, with the biggest stack throughout. Stefan Maloney briefly took over the lead at one point, but Dalphond was dialed in and running hot, and quickly regained it. After he sent Jo Teliani out in 3rd place, he was on a mountain of chips, with runner-up Benny Sarnelli running on fumes.
The final hand didn’t take long to materialize, and it was a pretty decisive spot for Dalphond. He shoved and Sarnelli called off his fumes with king-high. It was all over on the flop, however, when Dalphond smashed quad fives. The turn and river were irrelevant, and Dalphond scooped his second live win and first PPT trophy. Both players got $6k from the prize pool, while Sarnelli added $475 in bounties and Dalphond bumped his cash by more than $5,500.
