WPT and EPT champion Niall Farrell has been a fierce competitor throughout the tournament, one that no table-opponent wanted to see with chips given his strength in tournament poker. He navigated through the huge 1,168 entry field and found his way to the elusive final table with a rather short stack, but he got to work early on and ramped his stack up above the average chip mark as the field slowly thinned out to 6 players.
In a previous hand on this final table, we saw Niall limp in from the small blind, inducing an over-shove from chip leader Jean-Pascal Savard in the big blind. Niall made the fold back then, but remembered the hand and took full advantage of it just recently when dealt a premium hand in the small blind. Much like previously, action folded around to him in the small blind, and he completed the blinds – holding a healthy 35bb stack. Jean-Pascal peeled his cards and went into the tank for a moment, staring down his opponent before announcing he was all-in. Before anyone really knew what was happening, Niall had announce the call and tabled 
. He had set a trap and was now a big favourite to win the biggest pot so far in this tournament, over 430 million!
Jean-Pascal tabled 
, a strong hand for a limped pot on a short-handed table – and with so much to win in the higher payouts, he knew Niall wouldn’t be willing to risk his stack with anything but a premium. Niall definitely had it this time with pocket Kings, however and Ace reared it’s head on the 
board to send him off this final table in 6th place. He collected a solid $160,000 payday for his deep run, however like most poker players in his spot, he is surely feeling some disappointment for not remaining in the running of becoming the first partypoker Million North America champion.
With that pot, Jean-Pascal climbed up to 655 million for nearly half the chips in play 5-handed.
6th place: Niall Farrell – $160,000.00
