The Final Table
With 41 entries and a prize pool of $1,230,000 ($440,000 in bounties), we had only seven players at the final table. The final table lineup was: Martin Dam (42 BBs), Brian Rast (34 BBs), Ding Biao (21 BBs), Dylan Linde (21 BBs), Stephen Chidwick (8 BBs), Ronald Keijzer (6 BBs), Jason Koon (6 BBs).
The first one to leave was Ronald Keijzer when we saw a three-way all-in, with Keijzer and Chidwick at risk of being eliminated by Diao Ding, who was covering them. Keijzer opened to 3.5 big blinds, leaving two big blinds behind with J♥9♠8♣9♥, Chidwick jammed on him with AsKs9h2h, and Biao Ding reshoved with A♦7♦6♠3♣. The board ran 10♣J♣2♦3♠K♣, giving Chidwick almost a triple-up. Keijzer was eliminated in seventh place for $42,000.
Jason Koon was next on his way out when he pushed all-in from the BTN with 10♠10♦6♠4♣ for three big blinds and got called by Rast with K♦K♠5♣2♣. The board ran 10♣8♦7♦K♥2♥, and Koon was out in sixth place for $51,000.
Martin Dam opened from the HJ to 3.5 big blinds with K♠9♣7♠4♠, and Rast, who was in the BB, just reshoved for an extra half of the blind with Q♦Q♠6♦4♦. The board was 4♥2♠8♦6♣9♠. The river was deadly for Rast, and he was eliminated in fifth place for $77,000.
Biao Ding open-limped from SB with A♠J♦10♥4♥, Marin Bam raised to three big blinds with Q♠8♣7♠3♦, and Ding Called. The flop was 9♦A♥6♣, and Ding went all-in with the remaining two big blinds and a top pair. Marin snap-called with an open ender, missing the turn 3♠, but gets there on the river 10♦. Ding was out in fourth place for $87,000.
With only three players left in the battle for the title, Linde opened A♦A♠5♥2♦ to 3.5 big blinds with five big blinds behind and got raised by Martin with Q♠J♠10♥9♥, putting him all-in. Linde snap-called, and the board ran 3♥8♥6♠6♦Q♥, giving Marin a flush and knocking out Linde in third place for $114,000.
The Heads-Up
It all went down when Chidwick opened to three big blinds with A♣Q♥6♠4♦, Martin pushed all-in with K♣10♠10♥8♣, and Chidwick called. Marin had 57 percent to win the tournament, and board 10♣9♦A♥ almost already gave him the win on the flop when he hit the set of tens. The turn was Q♠, giving Chidwick some hope, but the river was 3♦, and Martin was the new Champion. Chidwick won $219,000 for his second-place finish.
