First to act, iggymcfly opened to 2,100,000 and pianospike shipped it in from the button for 10,991,317. Iggymcfly called with Q?10? and slightly trailed pianospike's A?6?. The board ran out 6?7?8?9?3? as iggymcfly made a straight to eliminate pianospike in fourth place for $79,200. At the end of the level, davidb666 made an all-in call with K?8? for 2,726,144 and was up against iggymcfly's K?5?.

The chip counts at the start of heads-up play:

iggymcfly �� 71,012,632

cmyworth �� 16,987,368

The tables turned quickly and cmyworth nearly evened the match before taking a huge lead at 500,000/1,000,000/100,000, when all in preflop, cmyworth's 7?7? held up against iggymcfly's 3?3?. The heads-up duel ended a few hands later. Iggymcfly was all in for 9,281,056 with A?2? and cmyworth called with K?10?.

QuirkyDragon3 fell at 20,000/40,000/5,000. He opened to 200,000 under the gun and Dwayne Stacey called from middle position. The flop was 5?K?A? and QuirkyDragon3 checked to Stacey, who bet enough to force QuirkyDragon3 into a choice for his tournament life. QuirkyDragon3 called all in for 41,924 with Q?J? but was in dire straits against Stacey's A?10?. The turn and river came 8? and Q? and QuirkyDragon3 was the eighth-place finisher for $14,572.80.

Majchi picked it off with 8?8? and when the board came 4?9?K?A?3?, flikkflak had $24,773.76 for sixth.

The flop came Q?10?Q? and Qureshi, with A?Q?, check-called Stacey's all-in shove. Stacey was drawing almost dead with J?10? and was eliminated when the 6? turn and 4? river hit the table. Dwayne Stacey won $33,436.48 for fifth place. Va Shon "Julian Verse" Watkins went to the rail at 40,000/80,000/10,000. He started the action with a raise to 189,943 from the cutoff and Adnan Qureshi re-raised to 482,775 in the big blind. Watkins went all in for 2,928,264 with J?J? and Qureshi called with A?Q?. The board ran out 7?K?A?K?10? as Qureshi won the race to send Watkins to home in fourth place for $44,528.

Adnan "nanQ" Qureshi fell in third at 60,000/120,000/15,000. Hhe made it 287,500 to go from the small blind and KingFish83 re-raised to 840,000.

KingFish83 �� 9,337,580
