The first to exit the final table was jarocho123. With blinds and antes 200,000/400,000/40,000, jarocho123's tournament life was on the line with (A-Spades)(Q-Diamonds) against kesher79's (4-Diamonds)(4-Spades). When the board rolled out (K-Spades)(10-Spades)(5-Spades)(5-Hearts)(3-Diamonds), jarocho123 was sent packing in eighth for $18,397.70. A few hands later, RiverCardRob's tournament was at stake as well with (A-Hearts)(K-Diamonds) against rS.Wisdom's (Q-Diamonds)(Q-Spades). When the flop and turn came (4-Diamonds)(2-Diamonds)(A-Clubs)(5-Spades) to put RiverCardRob in the lead. The longshot (Q-Hearts) fell on fifth street and RiverCardRob was out in seventh for $27,996.50.

At 250,000/500,000/50,000, rS.Wisdom raised 1,300,000 and orkim called from the small blind. The flop came (6-Spades)(4-Hearts)(6-Diamonds) and orkim led out for 1,500,000. A flat-call by rS.Wisdom led to the (K-Hearts) on the turn. This time orkim checked and rS.Wisdom bet 1,500,000. Orkim called and the river came the (7-Hearts). Orkim checked again and rS.Wisdom shoved with the bigger stack. Orkim thought it over for a few moments before calling with (8-Clubs)(8-Spades); however, it was second best to rS.Wisdom's (A-Clubs)(A-Spades). Orkim finished in sixth for $40,794.90. Later in the level, kesher79 raised to 1,250,000 from the cutoff and Jim "Mr_BigQueso" Collopy shoved for 12,350,900 with (A-Diamonds)(9-Diamonds), but ran into kesher79's (A-Spades)(A-Hearts). The board ran out (9-Clubs)(10-Spades)(10-Diamonds)(K-Hearts)(Q-Diamonds) and Collopy was busted in fifth for $56,792.90. Maverick8487 made a move with (5-Hearts)(5-Spades) and ran into kesher79's (J-Diamonds)(J-Spades). No five appeared and maverick8487 was the fourth-place finisher for $72,790.90.

The final two bustouts occurred at 300,000/600,000/60,000. Mjluth shoved from the small blind for just over 10,000,000 with (A-Clubs)(K-Hearts) and was called by kesher79 from the big blind with (K-Spades)(Q-Diamonds). kesher79's queen paired as the board ran out (10-Clubs)(9-Diamonds)(3-Hearts)(Q-Hearts)(8-Spades), giving Mjluth $89,588.80 for third. Kesher79 began heads-up with a 3:2 chip lead and clinched the tournament on the sixth hand of heads-up play. On the button, kesher79 opened to 1,800,000 and rS.Wisdom called. The flop came (J-Hearts)(10-Diamonds)(2-Hearts) and rS.Wisdom check-called a bet of 2,400,000. The (A-Clubs) hit the turn and this time rS.Wisdom check-called a bet of 6,000,000. The river came the (2-Spades) and rS.Wisdom check-called all in for 19 million. Kesher79 turned up (2-Clubs)(2-Diamonds) for quads and rS.Wisdom's (A-Diamonds)(10-Clubs) for two pair wasn't close. The second-place finish paid rS.Wisdom $132,143.48, while kesher79's win was worth $195,975.50.
