Final Table Action

Soon after Carlos "CarlosWelch" Welch became short and moved in with king-ten and was called by Lonis with ace-ten. The board gave Lonis aces-full and Welch was eliminated in fifth place.
Jonathan "Art.Vandelay" Dokler was on the wrong end of a cooler when he shoved all in on the turn with top pair against the middle set of fives for Gooch and was drawing dead, hitting the rail in fourth place. Gooch's run good would come to and end when he picked up ace-king and moved all in but was snap-called by the kings of Lonis and was eliminated in third place.
Heads-up play started with a 5-1 chip lead for Lonis and looked to be a short battle, however Ferraro did not go out without a fight and managed to climb back to almost even until the final hand when Lonis shoved all in with pocket threes and was called by Ferraro with ace-five and could not improve. Ferraro was eliminated in second place and Lonis captured the victory and first WSOP gold bracelet.
