Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

On the very first hand of heads-up play, both Justin Zaki and Phil Hellmuth limped in to see the flop of 8K4.

Hellmuth then led out for 1,000,000 (to look as weak as possible) and Zaki moved all in. Hellmuth snap-called and the cards were on their backs for ownership of the bracelet.

Justin Zaki: 67
Phil Hellmuth: 84

Hellmuth was in the lead with his flopped two pair but Zaki had a monster straight-flush draw.

"YESS!" Helmuth jumped up in the air as the turn came the 4 to give him a full house to put him lightyears ahead.

"Ok, no five of spades!" He shouted and the dealer listened as the river came the K to secure his victory and Zaki was eliminated in second place for a handsome payout of $496,801.

Stay tuned for a full tournament recap and winner's interview to follow shortly.
