Elpayaa is El Winner

Joe Elpayaa
Joe Elpayaa

After a grueling five hours of heads up play we finally have a winner; Joe Elpayaa.

Elpayaa completed on the button and Cary Katz checked his option.

The flop fell {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Katz led for 25,000. Elpayaa raised to 69,000, Katz shoved for 150,000 and Elpayaa called:

Elpayaa: {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Katz: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Katz needed to improve, but neither the {4-Diamonds} on the turn nor the {7-Clubs} on the river would suffice.

Katz fought valiantly, but will unfortunately have to settle for a final table bubble.

For Elpayaa it's on to the next one.
