The final table ended more or less the way it started. With <strong>meteze<\/strong> in top spot, followed by several more big stacks.<\/p>\n<h3>There&#8217;s always an exception<\/h3>\n<p>The one player to change his position substantially was <strong>Salon1966<\/strong>. While starting the last table in 7th place, he managed to climb up the ladder and finish in 3rd position.<br \/>\nAfter a lucky double up with <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/as.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/6d.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"> against <strong>RAALF44<\/strong>&#8216;s Pocket Jacks (two sixes on the board), he managed to cruise through the final table pretty much uncontested.

With <strong>meteze<\/strong> having almost a 4:1 lead over <strong>FiveSecRule<\/strong>, heads up was played out.
