Robert Flink had impressed with several well-timed bluffs at the final table, but after doubling through Brewer into the chip lead, it was one of these bluffs would be his downfall as he relinquished the chip lead to Tony G.

The pace would slow three-handed, allowing Brewer to reassert himself, moving into the chip lead once more. But the swings continued, with Tony G scoring a huge double through Brewer after flopping quads.

Flink was now the short-stack, and although he did double through Tony G he was sent to the rail by Brewer to bring the tournament to heads-up.
