Final Table Action
Once the bubble burst it took only 30 minutes to secure the eight-handed official final table. The action got off to a hot start when Arian "4632647" Stolt moved all in with ace-ten and ran into the ace-king for Jason "TheBigGift" Gooch. The board ran out ace-high but the king kicker scored the pot for Gooch and Stolt was eliminated in eighth place.
Nick "CashUsKlay" Schulman became short and moved in on an eight-high flop with jack-six and was called by the king-seven for Strauss. Schulman was sent out in seventh place when the board didn��t improve his hand.
A few hands later, Stephen "8betfold" Song picked up ace-three suited and moved his last chips in the middle preflop but ran into the pocket aces for Ausmus. Song couldn��t find any help and was sent to the rail in sixth place.
Craig "mrjanovich" Mason found himself in a flip situation with pocket threes against the ace-nine for Gooch. When the board flopped an ace, Mason couldn��t find any improvement on the turn or river and was eliminated in fifth place.
Four-handed play went back and forth for a while until Michael "Unbelievable" Wang moved all in with ace-ten and was called by the king-jack suited for Gooch. The flop gave Gooch the nut-flush and Wang was sent out in fourth place.
A short while later, Gooch and Strauss played in a big pot on the river on a nine-high board. Strauss put Gooch all in and after a long decision, Gooch made the call. Strauss rolled over queen-nine for top pair and Gooch was sent to the rail when his jack-nine fell short.
Heads-up play started with Strauss having a 2-1 chip lead on Ausmus. The action was wild between the two with many big pots going back and forth. On the final hand, Ausmus moved all in on a double-paired board and was called pretty quickly by Strauss who had nine-eight for a full house. Ausmus was denied his sixth WSOP bracelet and Strauss scored the title and his first WSOP gold bracelet.
