MissStax was the next to exit, at 150,000/300,000/30,000. From the cutoff MissStax raised to 1,200,000 and master zulle called on the button, bringing a J?3?J? flop. MissStax shoved for 2,901,091 and master zulle called with K?Q?, ahead in percentage terms against MissStax��s 6?6?. The 9? turn still left master zulle plenty of outs to win and the K? river gave the pot to master zulle. MissStax earned $39,000 for sixth place. Der Patient��s tournament ended at 250,000/500,000/50,000. In the cutoff Der Patient shipped it in for 4,554,250 and Uninc157 isolated the action on the button with 6?6?, which led Der Patient��s A?5?. The board rolled out 2?8?Q?6?5? as Der Patient was out in fifth place for $54,000.

The river was a meaningless Q? as Uninc157 busted in fourth place for $69,000.
Germaniac2 fell in third place, losing a good amount of chips with pocket jacks to Scott ��SCTrojans�� Freeman��s pocket fours, while all in preflop. A four found the table and Germaniac2 became the short stack. A few hands later Germaniac2��s 6?5? could not best Freeman��s A?10?. For the third-place showing Germaniac2 collected $84,000. Scott ��SCTrojans�� Freeman began the heads-up duel slightly behind in chips, but managed to grab a hold of the lead. However fortune turned when his all-in shove on the turn with second pair was called by master zulle, who held top pair. Freeman did not hit the river and trailed 6:1 in chips.
The tournament came to a close at 300,000/600,000/60,000. A limped pot brought a flop of 10?A?5?. Master zulle led out 600,000 and Freeman called. The 3? fell on the turn and master zulle bet 600,000 again. Freeman raised to 1,530,000 and master zulle called, delivering the 9? river. Master zulle went all in and put Freeman to a decision for his tournament life. Freeman shared his thoughts with his opponent, saying that he knew master zulle did not have an ace. Freeman felt that his opponent hit two pair, but opted to call anyway with J?J?. Master zulle tabled 9?5? for the rivered two pair to win the tournament.
