It took 26 hands of heads-up play, but the match between Valerie Hanley and Roy Peters has come to an end. Falling in second place was Hanley, earning $3,420 for her efforts. That gave the $5,885 top prize to Peters, plus he earned the $565 Main Event seat as the last Run It Up! warrior standing.

On the final hand, Peters moved all in from the button. Hanley called with the {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs} to put herself at risk for a little over 400,000. Peters was the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and was looking for the best hand to hold up.

The {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop gave Peters a pair of eights and kept him in front. The {7-Spades} on the turn left Hanley needing a jack and a jack only on the river, but she couldn't find it when the {6-Clubs} hit the felt.

With that, the tournament has come to an end and Peters was awarded the trophy.
