Russian player Daniil Kiselev won the $5,400 MPP Main Event, taking home $1,000,000 for first place. The event drew a field of 972 entries and built a prize pool of $5,000,000.
At the final table, Daniil knocked out last year's series champion, Austria's Daniel Taller, and went into the deciding heads-up against Turkey's Mehmet Biskin with a 2-to-1 chip lead.
Two key hands decided the match:
