The last final table of this summer's World Series of Poker has come to a conclusion. It was Igor Dubinskyy from the Ukraine who emerged victorious after he hit a straight on the river to best Ted Driscoll's trip threes. Dubinskyy, whose best previous cash in a tournament was a 192nd place finish at the 2013 WSOP Main Event, would take home an impressive $637,539 first-place prize as well as his first WSOP bracelet. Driscoll would take comfort in an excellent second-place finish and a nice, tidy sum of $394,281.
The day started with nine players vying for the title that Dubinskyy would eventually claim. Most notable was WSOP bracelet winner Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin who entered the day second in chips. Baldwin would get off to a rough start, sliding down the chip counts early on, but would gain some momentum when he doubled up with pocket kings against Driscoll. He'd eventually find himself short and would move all in with pocket deuces from the small blind at the wrong time as Brandon Eisen woke up with queens in the big blind to eliminate Baldwin in fifth place for $156,532.
Jack Duong would start the day with the chip lead but could never get anything going and would be eliminated in sixth-place for $117,507. Brandon Eisen would be eliminated in shocking fashion when he moved all in with the board showing
