Final Table Action
Several bracelet winners made a run to the money stages but bowed out before the final table, including Nick "CashUsKlay" Schulman, Robert "NeverEven" Peacock, Giuseppe "Pantalette" Pantaleo, Brett "Metanemesis" Apter, and Ian "APokerJoker2" Steinman.
It was two-time bracelet winner and 2019 WSOP Player of the Year Campbell who was eliminated to kick off the final table. Campbell got it in with pocket aces, but eventual winner "Rvrruner" cracked them with a straight that was made from a five-two starting hand. Close behind in eighth was "owned", who was picked off by "Rvrruner" after an untimely bluff.
Evan "RaiseOrDie" Pantano was out in seventh after he picked up pocket aces and jammed after the flop. Dunlap called with a flush draw and improved to crack the best hand. David "dbaba" Baba was out soon after in sixth when he shoved with eights but ran into the pocket nines of "Rvrruner".
Dunlap continued to cause damage at the final table with the elimination of Gonder in fifth place. Gonder got it all in with ace-two, but Sunday was waiting with ace-jack to send the tournament to four-handed play. Dunlap was next to go when his king-jack couldn't improve against the ace-eight of Sadhu.
Three-handed play was over quickly when Newhouse got it in with king-seven from the short stack, but "Rvrruner" had pocket aces to eliminate her in third place.
Heads-up play started out with both Sadhu and "Rvrruner" relatively even, but "Rvrruner" won a series of early hands to pull away. Sadhu fought back briefly but fell back just as soon, and the big moment came when he shoved with pocket fives and "Rvrruner" made a flush on the river to seal the victory.
