Iverson Cotton Snuffer snuffed out the competition in Event 5, coming away with the $63,882 win after a marathon 22-hour tournament. He outlasted 817 other players, including taking out experienced and well-respected pro Chad Brown heads up, to add to his $110,000+ in recorded live cashes.

Snuffer won a tournament for the second straight night, having just taken down one of the smaller side tournaments last night for $5,466.

"I want to thank my beautiful wife Jamie, all my children and grandchildren for their support in allowing me to follow my dream," Snuffer said. "I'd also like to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ."

Iverson Cotton Snuffer shoved all in from the button, and Chad Brown called.

Snuffer: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Brown: {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Brown had already doubled up once with two live cards, and he looked poised to do so again when {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} flopped. The {3-Clubs} turn didn't do anything for him, and the dealer burned and turned an {8-Clubs} river to make Snuffer the champion.

Greg Candido raised to 375,000, and Adam Pace pushed all in on the button. Candido called.

Candido: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Pace: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, and a {4-Spades} opened up a chop possibility on the turn. The river was a {6-Clubs} though, and Candido's aces held.

"Now, I can finally go pee," Pace said as he left the table.

Heimiller Out 15th

Dan Heimiller's AJ was no good.
Dan Heimiller's AJ was no good.

Dan Heimiller pushed all in over the top of a bet from Luis Alves on a flop of {9-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and Alves immediately announced a call.

"S***," Heimiller said, turning over {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Sure enough, Alves produced {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} for top two pair. He turned away, expecting the worst after the dealer burned and turned an {8-Clubs} to give Heimiller a straight draw. Instead, it was Alves who improved on the river with the {10-Hearts}.

Blinds are now 25,000-50,000 with a 5,000 ante.

Amanda Musumeci moved all in from under the gun for about 300,000, and Adam Pace called from the big blind after everyone else folded.

Pace: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Musumeci: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board came down {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, and Musumeci was felted.

"Good luck, I hope you all win," she said, both gracious and unrealistic in defeat.
