Twitch streamer Patrick "Egption" Tardif had a few close calls on Day 4 of the PokerStars Ontario Championship of Online Poker (ONCOOP), but ultimately would come up short of winning his first title.

Event 16-H: $500 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO]

Tardif's first deep run would come in Event 16-H: $500 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO], when he navigated his way through a starting field of 71 total entries to make it to the final table.

Tardif would be responsible for the first final-table knockout after "cchen16" moved all in for 76,996. Tardif reshoved for 148,610 and "dsquirrels," winner of Event 13 on Day 3, called to put both players at risk. Tardif's two queens held on against "cchen16"'s nines and the ace-ten of "dsquirrels" as he doubled up and sent "cchen16" to the virtual rail in eighth place.

Giancarlo "thepokerlife" Santolin was the next to fall after moving all in for 318,354 with ace-queen but running into the queens of "7Phenom1991." "FireFaux" doubled up "TeeWee55," then got their last 112,000 in the middle with king-eight against "dsquirrels" with ten-seven blind versus bind. "dsquirrels" flopped trip tens and "FireFaux" was eliminated in sixth place.

"dsquirrels"'s run to a second ONCOOP title would come to a sudden end when they raised to 420,000, then called a 645,829 shove from "7Phenom1991." "dsquirrels had ace-five but couldn't improve against "7Phenom1991"'s pocket tens as they doubled up to 1,300,000. "7Phenom1991" eliminated "dsquirrels" two hands later with two pair.

Tardif's tournament would come to an end when he shoved from the small blind for 338,678 with ace-five but "7Phenom1991" woke up with ace-jack in the big blind, sending Tardif out in fourth place for $1,594.

"7Phenom1991" then took a big chip lead when, on a jack-high flop, "bean3008" bet 246,095, "7Phenom1991" raised all in, and "bean3008" called for 340,754 with jack-ten. "7Phenom1991" had two pair, jacks and threes, to knock out "bean3008" in third place and take a 2,998,428 to 551,572 chip lead over "TeeWee55" into heads-up play.

On the last hand, "7Phenom1991" limped in, "TeeWee55" jammed for 401,572, and "7Phenom1991" called with ace-eight. "TeeWee55" was dominated with ace-five and didn't get any help as "7Phenom1991"'s eight-kicker was enough to win the pot and, after two runner-up finishes already in the series, the title.

Final Table results
