The Final Table

It took just over two hours to trim the field from 45 to nine, with the final table taking almost equal time to determine a winner.

The champion entered the final table third in chips among a tightly packed remaining field, then found themselves on the short stack with seven remaining. But with everyone relatively shallow, and after chipping up a bit, “Letmedonkyoualil”’s elimination of “Ufbrown" in sixth place gave them the chip lead.

That lead would trade hands a few times from there, with the eliminations of “TheArtist2” in fifth place and “Abagofblow” in fourth place.

“PolarizedMind” scored that knockout, but not long after, they would fall victim to “Letmedonkyoualil” in third place, giving the champ a roughly 3-2 lead entering heads-up play.

From there, the victory took just one more hand, as on the only hand of heads-up play, the chips went in preflop with “Letmedonkyoualil”’s ace-queen making a better two pair than "Zenrambo"'s. ten-nine suited.

The champion claimed their 20,000,000 GC first prize, while “Zenrambo” got 15,000,000 for their runner-up performance.

This concludes the second Global Poker x PokerNews Cup. Congratulations to “Letmedonkyoualil” for winning the GC Freeroll Finale, “Todaysfreak” for winning the GC Main Event, and to all the winners and players who made this another tremendously successful and exciting series on Global Poker.
