The flop kept FegytPL in front, but the turn turned the hand on its head and gave a huge advantage to Vulturesrus. The was not one of FegytPLZ\u2019s outs and he became the first casualty of the final table.<\/p>\n

Everyone folded back around to Vulturesrus and he decided to call. Vulturesrus then led for 120,000 on the flop only to face an all-in bet of 760,538, a bet that Vulturesrus called to be at risk of elimination.<\/p>\n

Vulturesrus turned over and was a huge underdog to the in his opponent\u2019s hand. The turn was followed by the river, busting Vulturesrus in seventh place and sending the 1,917,422 pot to GeekyPhilip.<\/p>\n

bajen1999 Busts in Sixth Place<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the blistering start to the final table it was no surprise that there were no more eliminations for 52 hands of play. On that 52nd hand, bajen1999 raised all-in from the hijack seat for 279,795 (blinds 25,000\/50,000\/5,000a) with what turned out to be . Zipelectro<\/strong>, on the button, raised to 546,925 with and both blinds folded. A board reading was of no help to bajen1999 and he crashed out in sixth place.<\/p>\n

He moved all-in for 520,244 with and Zipelectro called from the small blind with the lesser . Those pocket fives only remained second best until the flop then remained on top through the turn and river, sending PolloDeOro to the rail with a legitimate bad beat story.<\/p>\n

tHeClaImEr1 Crashes in Fourth Place<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four-handed play lasted all of one hand and ended with the October 19 edition of the $250,000 Guaranteed Sunday<\/a> champion Rick \u201ctHeClaImEr1\u201d Trigg losing a crucial coinflip with stroj_1. The latter min-raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and then called when tHeClaImEr1 three-bet all-in for 525,531 from the small blind. tHeClaImEr1 had made his move with and was narrowly ahead of the of stroj_1, but only as far as the flop of the board.<\/p>\n

That hand left stroj_1 with a commanding 7,219,372 to 900,628 chip lead over Zipelectro and nobody was surprised to see the tournament end nine hands later.<\/p>\n

Zipelectro Zapped in Second Place<\/strong><\/p>\n
