Finally, it was a day to remember for partypoker's Matthew Staples who tied his second biggest online score with a runner-up place in Event #44-H. After an apparent deal heads-up with "Coup_de_grace", Staples would have to settle for second but was no doubt thrilled by his performance.
Joao Simao narrowly missed out on the final table, finishing 12th for around $3,200 in combined cashes.
