Final Table Action
Play slowed considerably once the players reached the final table. Szasz was first to go by runnings pocket kings into the pocket aces of chip leader “IsnapUcry”. An ace hit the board and Szasz had to settle for eighth and $17,722.
Next out was "Jepser8" ($24,862). First, "Jepser8" ran pocket queens into the pocket aces of "BrowarFans" to get short. On the next hand, the ace-jack of "Jepser8" could not hold against the ace-eight of “IsnapUcry” and play moved to six-handed.
Kyriakos "9cream4" Papadopoulos ($34,878) went out in sixth after losing two pots to "IsnapUcry". Papadopoulos lost most of his chips when his spade flush was no good against the full house of "IsnapUcry". A few hands later Papadopoulos could not hold with pocket jacks against the queen-nine of "IsnapUcry" and was eliminated.
Fifth place went to Casimir "Ceis25" Seire ($48,928). Seire shoved the small blind with king-nine into the ace-six of "IsnapUcry" and hit the rail. "cynicalfish" ($68,639) followed in fourth after ace-queen suited could not crack the pocket tens of “BrowarFans”.
"BrowarFans" ($96,291) didn’t last much longer and exited in third after running pocket queens into the aces of "vadanas".
Heads up began with "vadanas" and "IsnapUcry" dead even in chips and they agreed upon a deal, but "IsnapUcry" quickly took control. "Vadanas" spiked the river to survive one all in to make a better two pair, but on the very next hand "IsnapUcry" shoved the river with a pair tens, and "Vadanas" called with a pair of sevens. "Vadanas" would bow out in second for ($158,494).
Congratulations to “IsnapUcry” for winning the EPT Online 11: $1,050 NLHE [8-Max, The Return of Arena Championship], 1M Gtd - Trophy Event #5 on PokerStars.
