It was a tale of two different final tables for "fuzztacular" on Day 15 of the inaugural PokerStars Ontario Championship of Online Poker (ONCOOP), but they both ended with them as the last player standing.

Event 50-H: $500 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO]

Nine players out of a starting field of 52 returned to play Event 50-H: $500 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO] on Day 15, but only six would make the money. "905ptatience" busted "dsquirrels" on the money bubble to climb to 1,075,124, in second place behind chip leader "fuzztacular" with 1,873,849.

"molupton" earned the first double up of the final six, shoving all in for 473,512 with ace-king and beating the ace-jack of Christopher "UncleAnte9" Lockhart.

Lockhart got some chips back when "mustanggino," down to 75,062, was all in with eight-five but lost to king-queen as Lockhart made trips to bust "mustanggino" in sixth place. Lockhart wouldn't survive for much longer, however, as he went all in for 281,464 with king-queen but was dominated by "fuzztacular"'s ace-queen to finish in fifth.

"fuzztacular" increased their lead after betting 225,000 on a king-high board and picking up a call from "905ptatience." "fuzztacular" showed king-eight for flopped two pair to win the 750,000 pot. They then eliminated "amarula99," who was all in for 248,117 with king-ten. "fuzztacular" had queen-six and again flopped trips to pick up another bounty.

"fuzztacular" continued their dominating run through the final table by busting "molupton" in third place, picking up aces after "molupton" shoved for 295,899 and beating ace-deuce. They led "905ptatience" 3,928,001 to 1,271,999 at the start of heads-up play and only grew that advantage after raising an eight-high flop to 180,000. "905ptatience" called as the board paired fives on the turn. "fuzztacular" bet another 160,875 and "905ptatience" again called. The river was a nine and "fuzztacular" shoved, forcing a fold from his opponent.

A few hands later, "905ptatience" moved all in for 732,374 after "fuzztacular" limped in. "fuzztacular" called with king-jack and hit two pair to win a coin flip against pocket sevens and capture the ONCOOP title.

"fuzztacular" was back at another final table on Day 15, this time in Event 56-H: $100 PLO8 [6-Max, Progressive KO]. They were joined by Team PokerStars Pro Arlie "Prince Pablo" Shaban, who made his way through a starting field of 88 as he chased his sixth title of the series.

"dsquirrels" took the chip lead after raising to 60,000 and facing a three-bet to 255,000 from "The Cooker." "dsquirrels reraised and "The Cooker" called all in for 283,580. "dsquirrels" made aces and tens with an eight-low to scoop another pot and eliminate "The Cooker" in fifth, climbing above 2,000,000.

Shaban's run at another ONCOOP title came to an end in a three-way pot. "Mearrrrl" raised to 120,000 and received calls by both Shaban and "dsquirrels." The flop came ace-high and Shaban got his last 365,143 in the middle, followed by "Mearrrrl" and their 383,795. "dsquirrels" had both players at risk. Shaban finished with aces and deuces with an eight-low, "Mearrrrl" had aces and tens, but "dsquirrels" had trip deuces with a six-low to eliminate both players.

"dsquirrels" took a massive chip lead of 3,552,674 to 847,326 into heads-up, but on just the fourth hand "fuzztacular" got their last 881,826 in on an ace-high flop, making a pair of queens with a six-low to double up.

"dsquirrels" reopened a big advantage after raising to 308,000 on the turn, then betting 791,000 on the river. "fuzztacular" called both bets and "dsquirrels" showed a full house, fives full of sevens, and a seven-low to scoop the 2,300,000 pot. "fuzztacular" doubled up to 1,162,304 the next-hand with a seven-high straight and six-low.

"fuzztacular" doubled again a few hands later with the nut flush and wheel, then doubled for a third time after shoving the turn, finishing with a pair of jacks to climb to 3,298,216 and into the chip lead.

Their comeback would be complete just two hands later after "dsquirrels" raised to 105,000 and they called. The flop came jack-high and "dsquirrels" continued for 210,000. "fuzztacular" raised to 840,000 and "dsquirrels" called all in for 394,784.
