24-year-old Dutch pro/student Visser earned the marquee prize by outlasting big names Chris Moorman, Steve O'Dwyer and Theo Jorgensen before cutting a deal three-handed.
With a slight chip lead over Swede Olof Haglund and Lithuanian Mantas Visockis, the three hashed out a deal that saw Visser secure £455,000, Haglund £427,564 and Visockis £377,436. A solid £140,000 and the title were left to play for.
Haglund quickly lost a flip to bust third leaving Visser and Visockis to play it out with Visser having a huge chip advantage.
It still took two hours to finish Visockis off, with another flip ending it as Visser's AQ hit a queen on the river to top Visockis' tens.
All told, Visser takes home £595,000 and his first major tour title.
Moorman, O'Dwyer, Jorgensen All Bow Out
The big names everybody expected to see at the end - especially chip leader Steve O'Dwyer - couldn't make it happen.
Moorman went out first in eighth, losing a flip to Jorgensen with sevens vs. AK.
O'Dwyer lost a big flip vs. Haglund before busting in fifth to Jorgensen's aces and Jorgensen could go no further than fourth, losing in - what else - a coin flip to Visser.
