Event 6 was a $70 + $10 freezeout event, and attracted 219 players, shattering the $5K guarantee. The tournament lasted a little over 9 hours, and in the end, William Pauzé had all the chips. When the ICM numbers were agreed upon by the last 5 players standing, Pauzé had secured the 2nd biggest prize.
Mario Bernier was the first to leave after the variance was reduced. After a few all-ins that favored the shorter stack, Mohammad Osman took out 2 opponents at once.

This river got Osman a crushing lead over Pauzé, but many more showdowns were observed. Pauzé came back, won the pot that mattered, and gave the final blow when his ace got the best of Osman’s king.
William Pauzé added $450 to his $2,060. He goes home with the biggest payday, the title, and the satisfaction of a big win! Congratulations!
