Final Table Action
Minutes into the final table, Millard “meekmill” Hale got his stack all in preflop with ace-king and was primed to double through Kyle “Kpcp22” Phillips, who held ace-queen. Unfortunately for Hale, a queen appeared on the flop and he became the first final table casualty.
Despite scoring the first knockout, Phillips was the next to go after running pocket nines smack dab into the jacks of Jason “jayriv” Rivkin. From there, Michael “annie_r_u_ok” Trivett lost most of his stack with king-queen against aces, and then he got his crumbs all in preflop with queen-deuce alongside Dan “omg_its_dan” Gallegos, who was at risk with pocket tens, and Rivkin, who had Big Slick suited. A king on the turn gave the pot to Rivkin, who scored a double knockout.
MSPT champ Kfir “Nahumus” Nahum bowed out in fifth place after getting it in with trip queens on the turn only to see Alex “OrcinusOrca” Foxen, who was at his third final table of the summer, roll over queens full of kings. Not long after, Foxen followed him out the door after flopping top pair of nines against O’Connell, who had him crushed with two pairs nines and sevens.
Three-handed play lasted a good bit before Felix “madenspauwke” Vandeput lost with ace-deuce to the ace-ten of Rivkin, who entered heads-up play down just a bit in chips against O’Connell. Rivkin, who qualified for the tournament via a $37 satellite, took over the chip lead, but O’Connell doubled through, and not long it was over.
In the final hand, Rivkin got his short stack all in preflop with ace-three only to see O’Connell have him crushed with ace-queen. Rivkin had to settle for second place and $90,811 in prize money, a healthy return on investment from the satty.
