It took almost an hour, but we found our final table bubble boy. Koen de Bakker open-shoved for 282,000. He was called by Tommy Vedes before Ryan Welch re-shoved for 875,000 total. Vedes, the "monkey in the middle" between de Bakker and Welch, seemed genuinely stuck regarding what he should do. He tanked for several minutes, said, "I don't know what the f*** I'm doing," and finally folded. That left Welch and de Bakker heads-up.
De Bakker: 
Welch: 
Welch immediately flopped a set of jacks, 
, to put a hammer lock on the hand. De Bakker was drawing dead after the 
turn and was off to the cage with the 
river. He'll received $33,026 for 10th place.
Meanwhile, the last 9 players -- our final table -- have been sent on a short break.
