It took more than three and a half hours to lose the first player, Ismael Bojang busting in eighth after losing a flip to Lavallee. He was followed to the rail by Adrian Piasecki (7th), Micah Raskin (6th) and Jason Tompkins (5th).
Italy’s last remaining hope coming to the final table was Angelo Recchia but his suited ace couldn’t get there against Lacay’s pocket jacks and he busted in fourth. Artem Litvinov was out in third and Lacay, who started heads-up with a near 2:1 chip lead polished off Lavallee in a little under 40 minutes to take the title.
