Lupo held steady near the top of the chip counts, hovering around the top 10 in chips throughout the day. When the final table was reached, he was the chip leader. It did not, however, come without some hiccups as he was pushed down behind a few other players including ‘johnsonck’, who were making their second WSOP online final table of the week.

The defining hand of the tournament turned out to be when play was three-handed and 'johnsonck' held an overwhelming chip lead on Lupo and David ‘DTC13’ Clarke. The tables were completely turned in favor of Lupo by the river card. He was actually ahead pre-flop with pocket fives against the ace-six of 'johnsonck' but the flop provided an ace to makes things look dire for Lupo’s chances of winning the bracelet. A miracle five of hearts came down on the river, to save Lupo and send him to the chip lead, which he would not relinquish as he finished off his final two opponents in a matter of mere minutes.

This tournament was a relentless storm of action in the later stages and there is plenty more of that to come, with five more online events on the schedule as well as a full slate of live events at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
