Final Table Action
"Pillzebub" started the final table as the chip leader, and was the last one standing at the end. ��Wolfhoundvet�� was the first to fall at the final table as his ace-jack was dominated against the jacks of the eventual second-place finisher. ��smrcfly25�� was the next to go as the short stack, and then it was ��1WINATATIME�� falling in seventh as the next short stack. It was then that ��Declan Scott�� couldn��t avoid a cooler as he got his queens in against ace-king and wasn��t able to hold. ��NineFiftySix�� was next to be eliminated in fifth as the short stack at the time, and was soon followed by ��luckyduckylucky�� out in fourth when they got beat by a devastating two-outer on the river.
Three-handed Play
The remaining three players ��hebba2020��, "BaoBaofor3", and "Pillzebub" were the final three and they battled back and forth for a bit. At one point, ��Pillzebub�� hit a fortunate ace on the turn to stay alive with ace-seven against the queens of ��hebba2020��. Soon after, it was ��hebba2020�� as the fortunate one, spiking a three-outer on the turn to stay alive against ��Pillzebub��. Play continued after that for a while without many showdowns until ��BaoBaofor3�� won a flip against ��hebba2020�� to take most of their chips, and took the rest of their chips by making quads in the next hand.
Heads-up
��BaoBaofor3�� started heads-up play with the lead but it was soon evened up without a showdown and ��Pillzebub�� became an overwhelming chip leader when they got ace-queen in preflop against the suited ten-five of ��BaoBaofor3�� and ��BaoBaofor3�� failed to improve. ��BaoBaofor3�� attempted to mount a comeback but the lead was too much to overcome, as they then fell in second-place when getting ace-queen all-in versus the king-seven of ��Pillzebub�� and ��Pillzebub�� flopped a king and held, winning the title, trophy, and $9,345.
