Final Day Action
Thirteen players returned for an unscheduled third day in the $10,000 8-Game, led by Chris Klodnicki on the hunt for his third WSOP bracelet.
It didn't take long to get down to a final table, and Klodnicki still led the way ahead of Philip Sternheimer and Felipe Ramos.
Aldemir would double with aces through Sternheimer in Pot-Limit Omaha, before Sternheimer doubled back against Klodnick with kings versus queens.
Arieh's quest for an eighth WSOP bracelet was dashed in seventh place, falling to Aldemir in Seven Card Stud before Klodnicki had both Dan Shak and Mike Watson drawing dead by sixth street in Razz, to eliminate them in the same hand.
Klodnicki, however, would fail to kick on and exited in fourth place in 2-7 Triple Draw by Ramos who had stormed up the counts. Ramos also eliminated Sternheimer in third place and held a more than 3:1 chip lead over Aldemir heads-up.
The stacks leveled out as the time approached 3:00 a.m. in the Bahamas, before Aldemir started to dominate. First, scoop an Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better hand, and finally picking up kings in No-Limit Hold'em to knock out the Brazilian in second place and secure the title along with $287,800 in prize money.
