Christian Harder (Annapolis, MD)

$61,690
Harder trails Travis Greenawalt (Landisville, PA) at the start of game one, but rallies to sweep the match and win the title. He takes home $61,690, the crystal trophy, and a pair of Blue Shark Optics sunglasses.
"He was by far my toughest opponent," says Harder, who finished third in this event last year. "He gave me trouble early and put me in some tough spots."
Harder, who now has more than $2 million in career tournament wins, says the pivotal hand came when he trailed 3 to 1 in chips and called Greenawalt's river bet with ace high. Harder's hand was good, evened the match, and paved his way to victory.
"When you hit a lot of flops and have the best hand it's pretty tough to lose," says Harder. "Neither one of us wanted to fold and we usually didn't believe each other."
Harder beat Jeff Madsen, Ryan Moriarity, and Ryan DeAngelo on Day 1.
He knocked out Keith Block in the quarterfinals and Ryan Hall in the semis before beating Greenawalt for the championship
