Recapping the action before the bubble round, Brtz was crippled down to 4 bbs with pocket queens outdrawn by BlueSword’s ace-jack. This ultimately led to Brtz demise on the bubble booted by cliffbooth with ace-king dominating king-queen.
To reach the final table table, Vanessa23 railed Bintangs with A♣ K♥ finding a king on the board to crush pocket fives. This gave Vanessa23 the lead entering the final table.
From there, the hunt didn’t fare well for Vanessa23. After BakedSand railed Kevin Pu (9th), Vanessa23 paid a costly double up to BakedSand to plunge down to 4 bbs. From the button, BakedSand called and bb Vanessa23 checked. At the flop 6♦ 8♦ 8♥, it was check-bet-raise-call. On the J♥ turn, bet-call. Then on the J♣ river, Vanessa23 shoved, BakedSand called. Vanessa23 10♥ 7♣ bluff, BakedSand with 7♠ 8♠ full house. Two hands after, Vanessa23 was out in 8th place.
On the flip side, BakedSand continued to dominate the action railing hur5t (7th). The next three fell to other players, however BakedSand still held the chip lead at the final three when the deal was reached.

Immediate shoves taking place at the start of the final table with airbnb initiating the action. airbnb survived a few all ins then railed BIG CHI (9th) in the process. Paranoid Android claimed the first of ultimately three heads sending TaPWateR out in 8th place. Resolve took care of the next two but quickly lost a chunk upon doubling up airbnb. This gave airbnb enough ammo to rail GTOwannabe (5th) and amass an enormous lead.
Next shove called saw Paranoid double up through Resolve who in turn went plunging. Resolve hung on winning two double ups but still fell in 4th place to airbnb. Half an hour later, Paranoid Android claimed a second victim in brynkenneyAA to take the lead and face airbnb at heads up. Five minutes in, it was all over. Paranoid Android grinded down airbnb then shut the lid with Q♥ 4♦ two pair over 5♣ 6♣ that missed on a board 7♠ A♣ 2♦ 4♠ A♠.
