Jouhkimainen started the seven-handed final day with the chip lead and knocked out Nicholas Palma in seventh place for $39,000 after flopping the nut flush. Jeremy Druckman eliminated Nino Pansier in sixth for $53,625, while Jouhkimainen dispatched Lautaro Guerra in fifth for $73,125 and Matthew Wantman in fourth for $97,500.
Kronwitter surged back among the final three, doubled through the leader and then eliminated Druckman in third place for $131,625. He made quads on the river in the decisive hand, then carried a lead of nearly 3:1 into heads-up play.
The final two agreed to divide the remaining money under an ICM deal, paying Jouhkimainen $215,062 and Kronwitter $267,563. Jouhkimainen’s career tournament earnings rose above $14.4 million after the result.
Kronwitter also earned 432 Card Player Player of the Year points for the Event No. 7 win and ranked 160th in the overall standings. His career tournament cashes now stand above $4.5 million.
