Next out was Daniel “Utradonk420” Pricola who ran his ace-eight into the pocket kings of “yumyummm“ to finish in 7th place for $17,502. “omahabrian” then scored his third knockout, this time around he finished off Louie “xILoUieIx” Torres in 6th place for $23,176.

The competition got tougher with five players remaining, all of whom had nearly equal chances of claiming the top prize. But not everyone would make it and unfortunately, it was “yumyummm” who had to leave next, taking home $31,008 for his 6th-place finish.

Matthew “WhiteMJ” Hewitt followed “yumyummm” to the rail in 4th place for $47,878, leaving just three players at the table, with Loeser being the shortest stack. The German pro survived that round as it was “tzinhoo“ who busted in 3rd place for $57,142 to set the heads-up play.

The one-on-one battle between Loeser and “omahabrian” didn’t last long as after a few hands, the German poker pro made his victory official, while his opponent settled for second place and collected $78,641.
