There was no bubble in this event as all players entered the day having secured GC400,000. The first prize jump, however, came at the final table, with all those able to navigate their way to the final nine guaranteed GC800,000.

The player to secure that initial prize jump but no more was "Scoobydubious" who got it in preflop with a dominated ace and failed to improve. Next to go was "FelicisSuerte" after they put their last chips into the middle on the turn needing to find a club on the river but failing to do so.

"LBgaming" continued their hot run by scoring a fortunate double knockout to send "BoltAction" and "Ormageddon" to the rail in 7th and 6th place respectively.

Eliminations continued at a break neck pace, with "F4RTF4CE", "SomeDumbFish" and "Regs1" sent out in short order to setup a heads-up showdown between "LBgaming" and "Allhustlenoluck". The contest did not last long as "Allhustlenoluck" limp-called a jam from "LBgaming" having their opponent dominated. The best hand held up, crowning "Allhustlenoluck" as the first ever Global Poker x PokerNews Cup GC Final champion.
