At the start of the final table, eventual second place finisher “Piko1432” was the substantial chip leader while “5Dinks4all” was sixth in chips. Play at the final table was slow at first, with only one elimination happening within the first 45 minutes. But as soon as the field was cut to seven, things suddenly sprang into action with five eliminations happening in the span of just 18 minutes, including three in consecutive hands to take out Florencio "tonkatsu&wagyu" Campomanes in sixth, “Loazi” in fifth and “TheRealElysioum” in fourth place. A few hands later, the short stacked “MrWheatToast" was eliminated in third place to set up heads up play.
Heads up play would end up being the defining aspect of the entire tournament. “Piko1432” entered heads up play with 58/42% chip advantage. After a few hands, “5Dinks4all” was suddenly on their last legs as their chip count had been whittled down to about 22%. But they managed to get a big double up to draw the chips counts close to even. “Piko1432” would again stretch the lead following the double up, as they wore down “Dinks4all” to a 30% deficit, looking to have reasserted dominance. But this time, “Dinks4all” did not need a double up to climb back. Instead they compiled a few hands in a row before taking their first chip lead after a few aggressive plays.
“Dinks4all” had a chip lead of approximately 65/35 when what would prove to be the final hand began. The board ran out with four clubs and “Pico1432” called a river all in with a small flush and found out they were beaten by the higher flush, the river club being the difference in the end and “Dinks4all” was the champion.
