Mhm_bauchschuss:
Hope_U_DIE_69 was in terrible shape against the higher pair of his opponent and only had around 19% equity in the hand. His situation drastically improved as the flop came down to improve him to set of nines and leave mhm_bauchschuss drawing to the two remaining queen in the deck. The ladies failed to make an appearance as the turn and river were the and respectively, doubling Hope_U_DIE_69 to 1,370,300 and leaving mhm_bauchschuss with 163,238 chips, or a little under 11 big blinds.
Man Down!

A final board reading improved Slaskarvilt to a pair of queens, but the queen of diamonds completed mhm_bauchschuss’ flush and the final table lost it’s first player.
Two orbits of the table went by without any players busting, then two players exited in back-to-back hands. The first of these eliminations saw metotti finish in ninth place when he lost a coinflip to Leanod. Metotti opened twice the big blind to 40,000 from the cutoff, Hope_U_DIE_69 flat-called on the button, only to see Leanod squeeze to 130,000. Metotti wasted little time in moving all in for 500,452 and when Hope_U_DIE_69 folded, Leanod called and showed . Metotti flipped over and the race was on. It was a race that was over almost as quickly as it has begun because the flop gifted Leanod a set and left metotti needing running hearts to stay in the tournament. The on the turn locked up the hand for Leanod, leaving the inconsequential to complete the board.
The very next hand, CNTHARIV moved all in for 96,116 (less than 5 big blinds) from under-the-gun and was called by the next two players to act, VWCorrac and crazycottage. The two active players checked down the board, crazycottage forcing a fold from VWCorrac when he bet 100,000 on the river. CNTHARIV showed and busted when crazycottage tabled the for an ace-high flush.
You Win Some, You Lose Some

The latter opened on the button, called okearney’s three-bet and then called bets on the flop, the turn and then called an all-in on the river. Okearney held , but mhm_bauchschuss held the far superior and won the hand.
Less than five hands later and okearney doubled his stack when he called LaurenceGourdin’s three-bet all in with and the “bullets” held against despite the board running out a scary-looking .

okearney Busts to His Nemesis
Another 50 hands took place, including okearney losing with queens against mhm_bauchschuss’ kings, before the number of entrant was reduced by one. With blinds at 20,000/40,000/4,000a, okearney moved all-in for 500,198 with from under-the-gun and was looked up by mhm_bauchschuss in the big blind who held . Neither player improved on the [, mhm_bauchschuss’ ace-high was good and okearney exited in fifth place after running terribly in several key spots at the final table.
Four became three when mhm_bauchschuss’ luck finally ran out in a hand involving crazycottage. Hope_U_DIE_69 min-raised to 50,000, mhm_bauchschuss moved all-in for 756,567 and crazycottage re-shoved.

Although Hope_U_DIE_69 held a 4,467,233 to 1,377,767 chip lead over crazycottage, the time was now an unholy 5:54 am BST and both players were feeling the effects of playing poker at a high level for close to 12 hours straight.
Two hands into the heads-up encounter, Hope_U_DIE_69 typed into the chat box: “20k to play a shallow sng is too much for my blood.” Immediately after, the players paused the tournament and discussed a deal. Nearly 10 minutes later and that deal was finalised and the tournament concluded.
