On just the second level of the final day, DirtyDuck’s presence was well felt. He doubled up through Flight C leader HoneyFunny to become one of the race leaders.
By Level 3, DirtyDuck was relentless, earning pot after pot to become the first player to breach a million. The bubble burst at the fall of HannibalBarca to hur5t with straight over two pair.
Once the money rolled out, players dropped in breakneck speed. On the way to the final table, DirtyDuck delivered a bad beat to ElioZ_ with pocket twos improving to a set to defeat and eliminate pocket sevens. The final table was formed at the fall of JYFRmoon who was unable to recover after a bad beat with aces cracked by ace-queen with two queens quickly arriving on the flop.
DirtyDuck entered the final table with a solid lead over all of his opponents. After ANGSTMAN lost a chunk to hur5t, DirtyDuck took the rest. This was the first of six bust outs DirtyDuck delivered at the final table.
LongBTC fell to Loris51, justhavingfun busted to hur5t, then from there it was all DirtyDuck. LEN1234980 pushed with K♥ 5♥ and didn’t improve against A♥ K♦, huisean was next with ace-four off suit losing to ace-seven off suit. hur5t bumped it in 4th place with king-queen missing the board for pocket twos to hold, then “I always have it” doubled up Loris51 then lost the rest to DirtyDuck.
DirtyDuck maintained course at heads up. He grinded Loris51 down to create a 8:1 gap, Loris51 fought back and was able to double up however that was all. DirtyDuck never relinquished the lead. The final hand was A♣ 6♣ outdrawing K♣ K♦ for a crushing nut flush.
