Two hours later, two tables remained, and all 12 players still in contention had made it into the money.

Eventual runner up Chris “rumpthumper” White scored the first massive pot of the final table when he left "Dume27" crippled after hitting a set of nines. "Dume27" was eliminated a couple of hands later, and nearly three full levels of five-handed play then occurred before White scored his first official knockout of the final table, eliminating "Malik256077" in fifth place after his ace-three held versus king-jack in an all-in preflop situation.
White then held a sizeable chip lead, but proceeded to give up two doubles to "mooseman1710" and "TheRealJanJurik," finding himself the shortest stack among the four that remained. Moments later, his king-queen hit a queen to double against the ace-eight of "mooseman1710" and leave them short. From there, four quickly became two as "mooseman1710" was eliminated by "TheRealJanJurik," who in turn was knocked out by White just a couple of hands later.
Heads-up play saw White take a slight edge into the battle against "Stonniepokes," and he initially pulled away after winning a five-bet pot preflop. However, "Stonniepokes" doubled soon after with a straight versus two pair to amass roughly 60% of the chips in play. Moments later, stacks got in on a flop of seven-five-four. White held seven-four for two pair, but it did not hold against the seven-six of "Stonniepokes" as a running five-deuce counterfeited White and allowed the six to play as the victorious kicker.
