And that's a wrap folks! After over ten hours of play, spread out over two days, "TrashNinja00" has emerged victorious over a field of 391 players to take home $19,938.52. They had to defeat two notables in the final three, as Steven "FadeOrHoldz" Madara was the runner up, while Sridhar "sri100k" Sangannagari earned third place. All three players earned over $10,000 for their showings.
When the final table started, it was Madara who held the chip lead, fresh off of a knockout holding pocket kings. It was another big hand, pocket aces for "PhillyisGarb" that saw to the elimination of "GivnUstrokes" in 9th place.
After that, Sangannagari was next to get in on the act, when his pocket tens won a huge flip against "jordanofpkr." The next elimination was eeringly similar, as pokcet nines did the deed this time for Madara, busting the Ace-Jack that was held by "PhillyisGarb" this time.
Madara kept up his eliminating ways, this time busting "TiltedHard" in sixth place. Madara held a dominating lead when the two got the chips in preflop, and that lead never went away.
For the first time at the final table, the eventual champion "TiltedNinja00" scored a knockout after flopping multiple draws, busting the pocket kings of "Zlajamiest" with a turned flush.
The eliminations fell back on Sangannagari for the fourth place bustout, who was "RunninItUp98." They would three bet shove after an opening raise, but behind them, Sangannagari woke up with pocket sevens, and called to bust them.
His momentum was short lived, as Sangannagari would fold his way down to just a handful of big blinds. He would put that small stack at risk from the small blind, but they were never able to catch up to Madara's King-Jack, leading to heads up play!
“TrashNinja00” started heads up with a small chip lead, and that lead would slowly grow until the final hand, where five bets from each player went into the middle preflop. Madara was in a dream spot, holding pocket aces to the tens of “TrashNinja00", but a ten came right on the flop to give “TrashNinja00” top set. No miracle ace came after that, and a disappointed Madara would have to settle for nearly $15,000 in cash. Check out a full breakdown of the final table below.
