"Thaker1976," the start-of-day chip leader who was near the top of the leaderboard for much of the final table, exited in sixth place after "bballjake97" spiked a six with ace-six to beat ace-jack. "bballjake97" also busted "iknewiwould7" in fifth with tens against ace-six that, this time, couldn't improve.

"bballjake97" also took a turn at doubling up against "Sucra72," shoving for 403,280 with queens and beating two nines.
"pagn0005" endured a steady decline after that big double up and got their last 330,514 in the middle with two threes. "Sucra72" made two pair on the river to win the pot and eliminate "pagan0005" in third place, taking a 2,272,232 to 1,397,768 lead into heads-up.
Most heads-up pots went in the direction of the chip leader before "bballjake97" narrowed the gap, picking up eights and doubling up against two sevens. Finally, with blinds at 22,500/45,000, "bballjake97" shoved for 334,136 with jacks and "Sucra72" called with ace-deuce. "Sucra72" flopped two pair and made a full house on the turn to win the pot and the tournament.
