The final table got off to an action-packed start with an elimination in the first couple of hands. Peter "Peter_1223" Mugar found himself all in with ace-ten and at risk against the ace-queen of Ryan "Protential" Laplante and could not improve, sending him out in eighth place.
It took roughly 30-minutes to see another bust out. Jeff "NedrudRelyt" Madsen moved all in with ace-nine and was called by the pocket threes of Shaun "nyjets23" O'Donnell. The board flopped a three and it was the end of the road for Madsen as he fell in seventh place, making two final tables in back-to-back nights.
Giuseppe "Pantalette" Pantaleo was the next casualty as he exited in sixth place when his pocket eights could not hold up against the ace-king of O'Connell. Soon after Brett "Metanemesis" Apter fell in fifth place when he hit top-pair with ten-nine but was drawn out against the queen-jack of O'Connell.
The final four went back and forth for awhile until Laplante got his queens in ahead of the pocket threes for Calvin "projector52" Anderson but a three sent him packing in fourth place.
Three-handed was also a lengthy battle with many chip leads being passed around. Eventually, it was Anderson who fell in third place when his pocket sevens flopped a set but were outdrawn by the straight of O'Connell.
Exactly one hand later and the first hand of heads-up play, O'Donnell was all in on a short-stack with ace-eight and called by O'Connell with king-ten. The river hit a ten to seal the deal for O'Connell and O'Donnell was eliminated in second place.
