Final Table Action

As there were only 8 places paid, the money and final table bubble busted after just under 6 hours of play when Aram "whatitdew" Oganyan shoved his pocket kings on the flop and was called by Brian "JR_Smith" Hastings and his 8-10 off-suit. Hastings was open-ended on the flop and hit his straight on the river to eliminate Oganyan and put the players in the money. It should be noted that the final table was made up of all former bracelet winners except for Matthew "booyastink" Wantman.

The first casualty on the final table was Patrick "Just4Lolz" Kennedy when he shoved his ace-nine into Pete "PeteChen" Chen’s superior ace-jack. Kennedy could not improve and was therefore eliminated in 8th.

Out in 7th was Yong Keun "LuckySpewy1" Kwon when he pushed the rest of his short stack in with queen-jack but soon found he was up against Saliba with pocket kings. The board put out both a queen and a jack for him, but he was counterfeited as the board was paired on the turn with fours.

Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Hastings was sent to the rail in sixth when he ran his ace-jack into Wantman's ace-king and failed to get there.

Next to go was Dan "BackDoorDan" Smith when he got it all in with ace-ten against Dokler's pocket jacks and was unable to improve so he was out in fifth.

Chen was Dokler's next victim as he got it in with ace-seven but quickly realized he was in bad shape against Dokler's ace-king. The board provided no help for Chen and he was eliminated in 4th.

Three-handed play lasted over an hour before Wantman put his stack in with king-ten against Saliba's ace-five. A five appeared on the board and that was all she wrote for Wantman as he was sent to the rail in third.

Heads-up play lasted only a few hands until Saliba moved all in on the river with pocket tens on an eight-high board and Dokler tank-called with a pair of fives but was no good and was sent out as the runner-up.

That's a wrap for this tournament as well as the WSOP.com bracelet events so PokerNews will see you at the next stop!

On a river board of {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}, the pot was roughly 200,000 when Justin "Jsaliba2" Saliba shoved all in, covering Jonathan "Art.Vandelay" Dokler.

With his tournament life at risk, Dokler went deep into the tank but eventually made the call and tabled {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair of sixes and fives. He was then shown the bad news when Saliba flipped over {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a bigger two pair to win the tournament and sent Dokler to the rail as the runner-up.
