Luie Sojo ended his winning streak when he was eliminated first at the final table. His As-8s was no good when Clubflush5’s pocket fives hit a set on the flop. Luie Sojo hit two pair at the flop but didn’t improve. He left with $34,365.50. Supermanpunch was the next one to go courtesy of a bad beat by KA1SERfknS0ZE. Supermanpunch was holding pocket aces against KA1SERfknS0ZE’s pocket 10s but his dreams were dashed when a 10 hit the river.
It was 23bigd23’s turn to leave when he went all in only to be called by Dump22 and PartyPimp. Unfortunately for 23big23, his pockets sixes were not enough to beat Party Pimp’s 6c-2c after the latter hit a flush on the flop. 23bigd23 took home $60,800.50. Dump22 was the next to go after KA1SERfknS0ZE re-raised him all in from the small blind. Dump22 had A-J vs KA1SERfknS0ZE’s pocket sixes but a six on the turn sealed his fate. CHOOK2120 busted a mere few hands later after he shoved with Kh-9h and got called by Clubflush5 with pocket eights. Clubflush5 hit a straight and CHOOK2120 got $140,418.25 for fifth place.
Clubflush5 was the next to go after Csimmsux got chip lead courtesy of Party Pimp. Csimmsux had A-A versus Clubflush5’s 10h-2c. No miracle happened and Clubflush5 was sent to the showers with $138,783.75 for fourth place. PartyPimp ended up giving the rest of his stack to Csimmsux and ended up in third place for $177,643.20.
Csimmsux started heads up play against KA1SERfknS0ZE with a 2:1 chip lead but ended up losing the lead when his K-Q was simply no match against KA1SERfknS0ZE’s A-K. Csimmsux, however, rallied as he ended up regaining the lead. In the last hand, KA1SERfknS0ZE called csimmsux’s shove after the flop with an open ended straight draw against csimmsux’s top pair. Unfortunately for KA1SERfknS0ZE, csimmsux ended up hitting a full house, leaving him with $276,245.75 for second place. This was csimmsux’s third Full Tilt Online Poker Series victory.
