The nine finalists sat under the watchful eye of the excellent 888poker twitch stream. In the first ten minutes, players got a feel for how the other was playing before a big hand resulted in the first elimination.

“CRBDOUGLAS” Min-raise with ace-jack of clubs and then called “arod1214” 3-bet all in for 12 big blinds from a couple of seats across. CRBDOUGLAS had to hit the board because arod1214 was all in with pocket queens. They hit with an ace as a door card. Game over for arod1214.

“pvss10” was the chip leader when the eight-handed game started, but they were still the next player out the door. They lost a few pots and saw their stack shrink to just over 18.5 big blinds after they called the big blind. Those chips are in the middle after a 3-bet shove with Ace-King over a min-raise of “equalize1” on average. It was ace-king against pocket jacks, and those jacks flopped a set before flipping a full house to reduce the player count by one.

The last seven became six with the elimination of “Baltic Mouse” from Lithuania. The Lithuanian had been a short stack for a while and was down to five big blinds before the bust. equalize1 min-raised with ace-queen under the gun and BalticMouse called with king-four of hearts in the big blind. All the chips went in on the turn, with both players pairing their ace and king respectively. No four landed on the turn and BalticMouse was caught.

Sixth place went to “Fever105,” which raked in $5,955 in total, thanks in part to a $4,014 bounty payment. Fever105 open-shoved for 3.5 big blinds with pocket threes and another short stack “Santa.Mürte” called with ace-queen. An ace on the flop wasn’t what Fever105 wanted to see and their participation in the event ended.

This hand strengthened Santa.Muerte’s stack, but they didn’t get any lower than fifth place. They found themselves with a pair of nines in the hole at 9.5 big blinds and decided to go all in via a mini-raise from CRBDOUGLAS they made with ace-queen. CRBDOUGLAS bet a queen on the flop and an ace on the turn, leaving only four players in contention for the title.
