After “Edsebo” bowed out in third place for $1,404, the title came down to “rumpthumper” and “Shotcaller777.” It proved to be a back-and-forth match with both players holding the chip lead and taking turns doubling up. In the penultimate hand, “Shotcaller77” turned a wheel to double through “rumpthumper,” who had been out in front with top pair of aces.

In the very next hand, “rumpthumper” got what little he had left all in preflop holding the {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and was up against the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of “Shotcaller777.” The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and that was all she wrote.
