Hershiser” Hershiser, Greg “DuckU” Hobson, Nick “gbmantis” Niergarth, Scott “dorinvandy” Dorin, purplEuros and Peter “#1PEN” Neff.
The final three players who would remain at the final table were #1PEN, DuckU and dorinvandy. #1PEN finishes in third place leaving DuckU and dorinvandy to duke it out for the win. #1PEN would not go home empty handed; his third place finish earned him $337,000.
When heads up play began, dorinvandy had a more than 2-1 chip lead. Dorinvandy would go all in on the final hand with pocket tens against DuckU’s Qspade-9spade. The flop read 10spade-eightspade-sevendiamond, so DuckU was working the flush or straight draw. The turn and river card would be a King and Queen of hearts letting dorinvandy’s trip tens win the game and the $617,925 first place prize.
