As many as four players tied for the first place with the score of 7/9 points each: GM Ilia Smirin, IM Eytan Rozen, GM Ido Gorshtein and IM Yeshaayahu Tzidkiya, but the tiebreak criteria determined the Winner and medalists.

GM Ido Bronstein won his game with black against IM Or Bronstein to leap on the top. All games can be replayed here.
