Saul overcame a field of 535 players and played Mike "The Mouth" Matusow heads-up for the title. He had a big chip lead with $8.2 million against Matusow's $2.6 million when the heads up begun. Saul played aggressively and dominated his short-stacked opponent.

In the final hand Saul raised up to $220,000 pre-flop and Matusow called. The flop came Th-6c-5c. Matusow checked and Saul bet $385,000. Matusow check-raised all-in with $2.633 million and Saul quickly called.

Matusow was a slight favorite with 8c-7c for an open ended straight draw, against Saul's Qs-Qh. But the turn and the river cards were of no help for Matusow. Saul took home the title and $1,342,320, and Matusow got $671,320 for second place. Danny Wong came third bringing home $361,480.
