After trading double ups back and forth, Jamal Stewart-McKenzie crippled Borislav Angelov in a massive pot when his king-eight spiked trips on the river, besting Angelov's pair of nines.

A couple hands later, Angelov shoved with {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Stewart-McKenzie woke up with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. A {2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board was the result and Stewart-McKenzie grabbed the extra cash on top, and the champion's trophy.

Ghislain Pigeon Eliminated in 3rd Place ($1,300)

After an uncanny amount of all-ins between the final three, resulting in the shorter stack doubling up every time, Borislav Angelov was finally able to crack the trend and bust Ghislain Pigeon.

Pigeon open-shoved and {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Borislav called with {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, and though Pigeon flopped a ten, Borislav spiked a flush on the river to set up a heads-up battle with Jamal Stewart.

Amir Majidi open-shoved from late position and Pierre-Luc Audet called all-in for less out of the blinds. Majidi had Audet dominated with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to Audet's {a-Spades}{7-Spades}.

The board ran out {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and though Audet flopped a world of outs, he bricked the turn and river and was sent to the payout desk.
