Two hours later, two tables remained, and all 12 players still in contention had made it into the money.

2 | Chris ��rumpthumper�� White | $894 |

Eventual runner up Chris ��rumpthumper�� White scored the first massive pot of the final table when he left "Dume27" crippled after hitting a set of nines. "Dume27" was eliminated a couple of hands later, and nearly three full levels of five-handed play then occurred before White scored his first official knockout of the final table, eliminating "Malik256077" in fifth place after his ace-three held versus king-jack in an all-in preflop situation.
White then held a sizeable chip lead, but proceeded to give up two doubles to "mooseman1710" and "TheRealJanJurik," finding himself the shortest stack among the four that remained. Moments later, his king-queen hit a queen to double against the ace-eight of "mooseman1710" and leave them short. From there, four quickly became two as "mooseman1710" was eliminated by "TheRealJanJurik," who in turn was knocked out by White just a couple of hands later.
Heads-up play saw White take a slight edge into the battle against "Stonniepokes," and he initially pulled away after winning a five-bet pot preflop. However, "Stonniepokes" doubled soon after with a straight versus two pair to amass roughly 60% of the chips in play. Moments later, stacks got in on a flop of seven-five-four. White held seven-four for two pair, but it did not hold against the seven-six of "Stonniepokes" as a running five-deuce counterfeited White and allowed the six to play as the victorious kicker.
