Nate Bolinger and Jose Esparza are pretty much dead even in their heads-up match after 90 minutes and the players decide they are going to do an even chop for $22,720 each and bring the Main Event to a close.
The stacks are counted down and Esparza has 15,000 more, one-half of a SB, or 1.5 antes more than Bolinger and he takes the trophy and backpack.
