Two-and-a-half more hours went by once the prize pool became official before play reached the money. David "TheKing411" Coleman and Alex "JinYang" Butcher began a series of six eliminations within the blink of an eye that brought about the bubble, which burst when "IReadYrSoul" knocked out "Bond18" with pocket queens to ace-nine suited.
Forty-five minutes later, "rule22" eliminated "BlckJck" in ninth place when their kings hit a set on the river to crack aces. "rule22" entered the final table with the chip lead with "IReadYrSoul" next in the counts. Both players had more than double the stack of the next-closest player.
One by one, the field was cut in half until four remained. Three full levels then went by before "IReadYrSoul" knocked out Event #1 champion "treetrap" with ace-king to ace-queen, only to eliminate Anthony "flawlessbinkage" Maio on the following hand after picking up pocket aces and holding to Maio's king-queen suited. Holding more than 90% of the chips in play, the heads-up match lasted only a couple of minutes before knocking out "rule22" by way of a nut flush on the river in an all-in preflop runout.
In Level 36 with blinds of 50,000/100,000 and an ante of 12,500, "rule22" jammed for 1.01 million and "IReadYrSoul" called.

. Three more chop outs came on the 
, but the river 
was the one that made the tournament final as "IReadYrSoul" hit the nut flush and eliminated "rule22" from the tournament in second place for a payday of $4,089.

gave him eight outs to a backdoor flush draw, but none came on the river 
and he was eliminated from the tournament in third place.
Upon the completion of the hand, "IReadYrSoul" and "rule22" find themselves in a five-minute break before beginning their heads-up match with "IReadYrSoul" holding onto over 90% of the chips in play.
