HAND #223:

Joshua McSwiney limps the button and then calls the shove of Patrick Yazbeck for around seven blinds.

Joshua McSwiney: .

The board delivers the runner-runner flush and McSwiney is crowned the champion, while Yazbeck has to settle for the runner-up spot. Both players secure the biggest piece of the AUD $1,918,500 (US $$1,203,091) prize pool in a field of 1,106 entries and Yazbeck walks away with AU$250,000 (~US $156,775) according to the deal both players struck in heads-up.

It was a topsy-turvy final table for both as they were all-in and at risk multiple times prior to and during the final duel for the WPT Prime Championship trophy. Ultimately, McSwiney received the top prize of AU$283,336*  (~US $177,680*) and the $10,400 seat for the 2025 WPT World Championships at the Wynn Las Vegas in December.
