"thekid32" entered heads-up play with a slight chip lead but "mmflpoker" pulled ahead, eventually gaining as much as 80% of the chips in play. However, "thekid32" clawed back and then found an improbable double after stacks got in on an ace-four-three flop. "thekid32" had four-three suited and was up against the ace-three of "mmflpoker," but hit a four on the turn to improve to a full house and double.
From there, "thekid32" pulled away further and eventually called a shove from "mmflpoker" with ace-four. "mmflpoker" had queen-three and the outcome remained unchanged when the runout was finished, resulting in "thekid32" claiming the most recent title of the series.
