The third and final day started with only 35 players in contention for the title; only 19 of those players made it to the dinner break. Daniel Moya claimed a large pot shortly after the restart, which propelled him into the lead. However, Moya would ultimately finish in tenth place, bursting the final table bubble.

American Adam Geyer, a player with $3.3 million in live earnings, was the final table's first casualty. Geyer open-shoved from the cutoff with queen-jack of clubs, and found himself flipping against the pocket tens of Juan Velasco. The tens held, Geyer bowed out, and Velasco soared into a more substantial lead.

Paul Castelo was the next to fall, his ace-seven of hearts losing out to Driss Fissenko Joackim's pocket queens, which improved to a full house on the river.

Seventh place went to Bernat Pradas, who found himself all-in with king-jack for his last eight big blinds. Valesco woke up on the button with pocket aces and made one of the easier calls of his career. Valesco flopped a set, and Pradas was drawing dead on the turn.

The final six became five with the untimely demise of Joackim. He open-shoved for 13 big blinds with ace-queen, and Lafoz looked him up with a pair of black jacks. A nine-high board left Lafoz's jacks as the best hand, and Joackim was gone.

Pocket jacks sent another player to the rail shortly after. Roman Torreblanca, who won his seat for only €2, called all-in from the big blind with king-jack of hearts and needed some help to beat Damian Gonzalez's pair of jacks in the hole. An ace-high board kept those jacks best, and the final table was suddenly down to only four hopefuls.

Amazingly, "fish hooks" played a role in the next elimination, too. Gonzalez opened with pocket jacks, Velasco three-bet, and then called when Gonzalez jammed all-in. Velasco showed ace-king with the ace of clubs. Four clubs later, Gonzalez lost to a flush.

The Main Event progressed to heads-up after Velasco crashed out in third with, you guessed it, pocket jacks! Velasco limp-shoved with a pair of jacks on the button and found himself in a good place against Lafoz's king-nine of hearts. That was until a king landed on the flop, leaving Velasco drawing to two outs. Neither appeared on the turn or river, leaving Lafoz in a one-on-one battle against Poland's Tomasz Brzezinski.

Brzezinski trailed 6 million to Lafoz's 28 million, and it proved too much of a gap to bridge. On the third hand of heads-up play, Brzezinski min-raised with ace-queen, then called off his stack when Lafoz set him all-in. Lafoz held pocket fives, which flopped a set. Brzezinski was drawing dead on the turn and had to make do with a €34,450 consolation prize, leaving Lafoz to claim the victory and €50,000 in prize money.
