Eric Siegel began heads-up play with the chip lead on Ruth Ruffman, but after Ruffman rivered a double with QdTc against Siegel’s AcJs on an 8d7c3cKdQc runout, the chip counts were tighter and they agreed to a deal shortly after.

“We go back 20 years playing poker in Atlantic City,” said Siegel.

Siegel had the chip lead, making him the official Event 24 winner for $10,360. Ruffman collected $10,000 for the runner-up finish.
