Bob T. took down Event #14 in only his third-ever Pot-Limit Omaha tournament. He bested a field of 64 players to win the CAD $2,352 first prize and the World Cup of Cards Trophy.
The players made a deal to pay the bubble, which meant that Manfred Gunther would get CAD $120 when he eventually finished eighth. Then, they changed the deal again five handed, adding about $400 to fifth and taking roughly that amount from first. Then the remaining four players completed two full levels before Alain Neveu and Andy D’Alessandro would be eliminated.
D’Alessandro actually eliminated Neveu just before he himself was eliminated. Neveu and D’Alessandro got all in preflop and D’Alessandro took down the pot with a slightly better two pair.
Then D’Alessandro got all in with Nicolas Valette-Heiler preflop. Valette had aces and hit a set on the river beating D’Alessandro’s flush draw.
Bob T. and Valette-Heiler had fairly even stacks entering heads up play. The stack swung to Valette-Heiler at first, but the final nine hands of the tournament went to Bob T. He got two walks, but on the other seven hands Bob T. either opened with a pot bet or bet the pot over a Valette-Heiler limp. On the final hand, Valette-Heiler bet the pot blind from the small blind. Bob T. called when he saw his hand and Valette-Heiler was at risk.
Bob T. would make a straight on the turn to win the tournament and send Valette-Heiler home with second place.
This was a six-handed event, so the final table started play seven handed. Shortly after the final table started, Antoine Chuzeville got all in against Joey Boczek and couldn’t catch up. Boczek would then be eliminated in sixth place after getting all in against Bob T. on an all-heart flop with a straight and a set. Bob T. had flopped a queen-high flush and would stay ahead.
Below is a breakdown of all the payouts:
| Place | Name | Payout (CAD) |
| 1 | Bob T. | 2352 |
| 2 | Nicolas Valette-Heiler | 2050 |
| 3 | Andy D'Alessandro | 1550 |
