The Final Table
Ryan "TheSims" Hohner entered the final table as the shortest stack. He quickly found a double, but lost a bit back before losing a coin flip to take ninth place. Recent WPT Online Main Event champion David "TheKing411" Coleman was the next to bow out. Coleman doubled eventual runner-up BoozeHound to be left with under three big blinds, which he lost a couple of hands later.
Moments later, "pay4medsch00l" was eliminated in seventh before "BoozeHound" doubled once more, this time leaving Brian "TopCreature" Sherrier" with two big blinds. Sherrier and "RickRahim" then went out on the same hand by way of a double elimination at the expense of "alwaysliquid."
"spinach_kale" then went out in fourth after their pocket kings saw the pocket nines of "MyCousinVinny5" flop a set to bring about three-handed play, where chips exchanged hands through two doubles before "MyCousinVinny5" was eliminated by "alwaysliquid" in third place.
Heads-up play then began and went back and forth for a bit before reaching the zenith for "alwaysliquid". A single-raised pot saw a ten-seven-six flop hit the board, with all three cards being clubs. The ace- and jack of clubs finished the runout and all of the chips made it into the middle via an overbet shove and a call. When hands were shown, "BoozeHound" had called with the king of clubs for the nut flush, but it proved to be no good as "alwaysliquid" had flopped a straight flush to wrap up the five-and-a-half-hour event in a truly unique and memorable fashion.
