Daan "DaanOss" Mulders raised the cutoff to 180K, and "Hessinator" called from the button, as did Laurynas Levinskas in the big blind. They all checked through the board until the river, when Mulders bet 468,000 after a check, and "Hessinator" called, only to find their king0jack was behind ace-jack.
"Hessinator" shoved the small blind after a button raise from Daan "DaanOss" Mulders, but Mulders folded after big blind Sosia "Aunty_Ninja" Jiang shoved for 2,503,908.
Sosia "Aunty_Ninja" Jiang:
"Hessinator":
Board:
"Hessinator" was on the shortest stack, and couldn't find any help, ending in 9th place.
Anton Wigg shoved the middle and Laurynas Levinskas called it off with ace-jack to race against nines. Levinskas flopped an ace and Wigg was forced to accept $32,565 for 8th place.
Grant "yukeepplayi" Ellis shoved early for 1,710,576 and Sosia "Aunty_Ninja" Jiang reshoved to isolate from the small blind. Ellis was in horrible shape with fives against aces, and couldn't find any help on the board.
Christian Jeppsson shoved the small blind with the biggest stack, and David "BKBroker" Fernandez called it off from the big with about 10 big blinds behind. Jeppsson was ahead with ace-ten against queen-jack, and no help came for the short-stacked Canadian.
Kristen Bicknell lost most of her stack in a massive hand with fours against tens and queens, then finally got the rest of her stack in with queen-jack against the ace-four for Laurynas Levinskas. Levinskas hit a four on the flop and Bicknell bricked the rest of the board to end her run in 5th place for $77,223.
Christian Jeppsson shoved the button for 4,230,132 and Sosia "Aunty_Ninja" Jiang called in the big blind.
Sosia "Aunty_Ninja" Jiang:
Christian Jeppsson:
Board:
Jeppsson spiked the ace on the flop, and that was all he needed. That left Jiang short stacked, and she busted the following hand to Jeppsson's flush after flopping a set of fours.
Laurynas Levinskas shoved the small blind for 3,515,249 and Christian Jeppsson called off in the big. Jeppsson had ace-eight against king-three, and hit both his cards to bust Levinskas in 3rd place.
After the deal was made, Christian Jeppsson went on a string of rungood that culminated in a hand where Daan "DaanOss" Mulders limped, then called the big stack shove from Jeppsson.
Christian Jeppsson:
Daan "DaanOss" Mulders:
Board:
Jeppsson turned the queen and Mulders bricked the river to finish in 2nd place for $213,400.
After a little over 10 hours of play, Christian Jeppsson has taken down the WSOPC #3: $3,000 Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em Championship. The Swede made it through 504 total runners, and chopped the prize money heads up to win $213,928. Once the deal was made, Jeppsson went on a run, finally taking it down a few hands later when he turned a pair to crack Daan "DaanOss" Mulders' ace.
This is Jeppsson's first World Series of Poker Circuit ring, and is worth more than his biggest live cash to date, a win at the 2008 EPT Budapest in €2,000 + 100 No Limit Hold'em for the equivalent of $151,977 USD.

The Day's Action
They ended up with 504 total entries when the gates came down on registration, and the action went lightning fast from there. There were still about 175 players left in action at that point fighting for the $1,436,400 in prizes, but it took less than 90 minutes for them to play down into the cashing spots.
It only took about two and a half more hours to play down to the final table. Along the way, players like Bryan Paris, Urmo Velvelt, Ole Schemion, Joao Vieira, and Andrii Novak busted with a payout.
Things slowed down a bit once they hit the final table, and they played nine handed for about 40 minutes before "Hessinator" was the first to exit for $24,420. Anton Wigg followed a few minutes later when his nines couldn't hold against overs, setting off a string of eliminations that had play four-handed within half an hour.
Action went four handed after Canada's Kristen Bicknell busted after losing most of her stack in a three-way cooler with fours into two over-pairs. They played four-handed for nearly an hour before the end-game kicked off.
All four players had the chip lead at some time, but it was finally Sosia "Aunty_Ninja" Jiang exiting in fourth that got the ball rolling. Jeppsson spiked an ace against her tens, and Jeppsson went on to eliminate Laurynas Levinskas and Mulders in short order to take it all down.
