Final Table Action

"TheBigSlick74" had secured a few eliminations before the final table, leaving them with a huge stack that was double anyone else at the start. They would then secure the first elimination at the final table, when they rivered a flush to break the flopped straight of his opponent.

Next they busted "LetMeWin3437", after flopping bottom set to crush the top pair of their opponent. After taking a few hands off, they would get back to their knockout ways in a massive pot, when they turned a full house to beat a straight made on the river by "TheBiggZigg."

At that point, "TheBigSlick74" raised virtually every hand, grinding his two opponents down before busting them in quick succession. For their dominating performance, "TheBigSlick74" earned $5,387, and the PACOOP title.
