By the time the final table was reached, the least amount of money anyone would be taking home was $9,498, which is what Mexico��s ��Regadeitor�� collected for their ninth-place finish.
Next to fall was ��deivid29��, one of four British players to reach the Sunday Million��s final table. He was followed to the sidelines by the 2012 WCOOP Player of the Year Mikal ��mikal12345�� Blomlie, before a double elimination claimed the tournament lives of Switzerland��s ��Therealkuch�� and ��knockoutian.��
"ad144" min-raised with a pair of kings, Therealkuch three-bet all-in with ace-ten of clubs, knockoutian four-bet all-in from the small blind with pocket queens, and ad144 called to put two players at risk of elimination. The board ran out ten-high and the final table lost two players.
Vitor ��VitinhO Dzi�� Dzivielevski crashed out in fourth place before Bulgaria��s ��JAGUARRRRRR�� exited in third place to leave two Brits fighting for the title �� ad144 and ��CrownUpGay.��
The heads-up duo agreed to a deal that left $20,000 in play for the eventual champion. That champion was decided after an exciting one-on-one battle which ended with "ad144"��s pair of red kings holding against the ten-seven of CrownUpGay.
