Allyn Marshall survived hours playing heads up against Nicholas Immekus, but in a series of three hands contested in a matter of minutes it was all over.
For a moment though, it appeared that top honors would be going his way, as Marshall scored a major double up to take the lead before the deck conspired against him.
First, Marshall check-raised for all his chips (about 10 million) on the 
flop and Immekus snapped him off while triumphantly tabling 
. Marshall could only muster the 
for bottom pair, putting him on the brink of elimination, but the dealer burned and turned the 
to thrust him into the lead. The 
on the river changed nothing, and suddenly Marshall had Immekus on the ropes.
Just a deal or two after that, Immekus open-shoved with 
and it was Marshall's turn to snap-call with his 
. Before he could celebrate, however, the 
appeared right in the window, and the final board rolled out 
to swing things back in Immekus' favor.
The finishing blow came minutes later, when Marhsall ran his 
all-in move against Immekus' . A runout of 
provided no further miracles, and with that Marshall finished as the runner-up for a $51,318 score.
