Final Table Action
In actual fact, Zakharov would be responsible for the first three eliminations of the day. Nine-handed play lasted over an hour before Marcin "cladarth" Pszenniak got his ace-king in when he three-bet shoved. Zakharov's four-bet shove with kings got Oscar "owilson25" Ramirez out of the way while he held throughout the runout of the board. Ramirez then fell to Zakharov when he held tens while the latter had ace-king and flopped top pair.
Then it was time for "kirbyi17" to fall to Zakharov with "tzini9" taken out in sixth place fifteen minutes later by Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes. A mere ten minutes later, Moraes got his twenty big blinds in with tens and was ahead against the sevens of Zahkarov but the seven on the flop signalled the end of Moraes' tournament run.
"ZAR84" had started as the shortest stack at the final table but managed to climb the pay ladder while they saw the rest bust. They doubled up once more but with the blinds increasing, their stack dwindled again. At long last, they saw their whole stack go to Zakharov too. Not even ten minutes later, "$harkFlo" was done as their ace-trey couldn't beat the ace-queen of "1mSoWeeeaK".
Heads-Up Battle
"1mSoWeeeaK" started the heads-up battle with a slight chip lead and won two more pots before a short deal discussion ensued but failed to come to fruition. "1mSoWeeeaK" kept the pressure on Zakharov and kept building their chip lead. they got Zakharov down 14 big blinds but then doubled him back up.
Things went fast and furiously with only one more hand going to showdown before Zakharov was down to eleven big blinds. Two hands later, Zakharov called the shove of "1mSoWeeeaK" with ace-nine to see he was ahead agains the nine-eight but the eight on the flop and no help on the turn or river meant that the tournament was over with the chips all in the possession of "1mSoWeeeaK".
This concludes the PokerNews coverage of this event but stick around as the WCOOP-72-H: $5,200 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event] still has four players left who are battling it out for the top-prize of $1,499,942.
