Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson finished in fifth place, but his fellow countrymen “mamamamama70” and Niklas “Lena900” Astedt made it all the way to heads-up play to secure a Swedish double victory.
They then quickly agreed to an ICM deal, which secured “mamamamama70” the biggest payday worth a staggering $88,599.06, while Lena900 took home $83,707.19.
