The final battle sees the last 5 players, each guaranteed a minimum payout of $56,000. The overall winner not only takes home the trophy and valuable leaderboard points in the race for the Purple Jacket but also a top prize of $224,000.

Leading the final table is Latvia’s Vitalijs Zavorotnijs, followed by American Clemen Deng in second place, and Britain's Jamie Dwan in third.
