Action on the Final Day
Iamedos went home first after earning $2,033 from his $109 investment. xadp05 followed him after 30 minutes when he used ace-queen to go all-in in a three-bet, and Iaromachikne made a min-raise under the gun.
grantymore94 used pocket jacks to make a cold call while Iaromachikne folded. The former did a set flop and busted xadp05 in seventh place with $2,682.
The two Brazilian poker players got busted next. Bernado807 staked his remaining 11 big blinds in a middle preflop using ace-five. But, they ran into GediminasDir's pocket jacks.
jonatas920 put the last 8.2 big blinds in a pot using a suited nine-five when he flopped a five, but Iaromachikne beat him using pocket sixes. Bernado807 won $3,563 while jonatas920 took home $4,768.
Grantymore94 made a wrong move that ended his run in the last hour. Iaromachikne used ace-nine to min-raise on the button while grantymore94 placed 12.3 big blinds in a three-bet all-in using six-five of diamonds from the big blind.
Iaromachikne called before flopping a nine and hitting trips on the river that sent grantymore94 packing in fourth place with $6,445. A heads-up battle was set after GediminasDir exited the event in third place with $8,698.
Iaromachikne raised the big blind thrice and called as GediminasDir went all-in in a three-bet of almost 25.5 big blinds. The latter held pocket sixes that Iaromachikne's pocket nines crushed. The nines were the best hand after an ace-high board turned and sent GediminasDir packing.
Iaromachikne had a 12:1 chip advantage over MIKEPOSTLE when heads-up action began. Yet, the tournament didn't continue for long.
MIKEPOSTLE went all-in with seven big blinds using queen-six in the final hand, and he urgently required help to beat the dominating ace-queen.
Yet, he didn't get it and finished the tournament as a runner-up with $11,831. Iaromachikne took home the tournament's title and $16,223.
