Bruno GT called all in for 90,016 with A?K? and was racing against Delong��s Q?Q?. The board rolled out 3?10?7?4?Q? as Bruno GT exited in seventh place for $12,460. Delong eliminated MutaPierda later in the same level. Delong shoved from the small blind and MutaPierda called all in for 108,041 out of the big blind with A?J?, slightly leading Delong��s K?Q?.

ArcticAces00 did not last past 5,000/10,000/1,000 after a hand with Jonathan ��xxjondxx�� Delong. ArcticAces00 was way ahead with K?K? against Delong��s Q?Q?, but the board ran out J?5?10?10?Q? as Delong spiked the two-outer on the river to bust ArcticAces00 in fourth place for $29,204.

Delong checked to Bush, who bet 31,444, but Delong raised to 108,000. Bush thought momentarily before raising again, this time to 420,000. Delong called all in for his remaining 301,288 with 9?7? and was drawing against Bush��s J?J?. The turn was the Q? and changed nothing, but the 2? landed on the river and Delong made his flush. The tourney ended one hand later when Delong raised enough to cover Bush. Bush called all in for 176,936 with A?5? and faced Delong��s K?10?. The board came 10?3?5?9?2? as Bush came up just short, finishing in second place for $52,510. Delong��s virtual paycheck for winning the PokerStars Super Tuesday was for $69,420.
