WSOP seat for the next 20 years
Players were gunning for the coveted WSOP for Life package – which offers the winner a seat at the World Series of Poker every year for the next 20 years.
The nail biting final hand saw Essam_Ali dealt Q♣ K♦ and confidently call IDestroySPAs’s all-in with a Q♥ 7♦. All of IDestroySPAs’s fears were confirmed with a 3♣ 6♠ K♥ flop and Essam_Ali finally claimed his WSOP for Life package with two pairs thanks to an 8♥ turn and a Q♦ river.
Shinosaurus finished 5th – just missing out on one of the runner-up prizes, a $14k package to this year’s WSOP. After being dealt K♦ 9♥, Shinosaurus fearlessly went all-in. Unfortunately, his cards were no match for Essam_Ali’s K♣ K♠ on a 7♦ A♥ 5♠ A♠ 2♦ board. Still, bagging $18,120.00 for 5th place shouldn’t have been too painful!

A 4♠ turn secured a slice of the money as a 6♣ river couldn’t help WelcomeXD. Close, but no cigar!
