Brian “foxxx” Kirchhoff began the final table as chip leader, and it would be Kevin “SpecialK333” Calenzo the first to fall. Michael “merlot” Bailey was then all in with ace-nine against the ace-ten of Andrew “WATCHGUY42” Lichtenberger and was unable to improve, and was eliminated in eighth. Lichtenberger would then send Arian “4632647” Stolt to the rail before Greg “Bubblealot” Wish lost a race with pocket fives to Norman “abnormality” Michalek’s king-eight. Edan “goatplaya” Sucov would then fall to Tamero, before Michalek eliminated Kirchhoff and Lichtenberger to enter heads-up play with a near three-to-one advantage over Tamero. Tamero would pick off two bluffs from Michalek before the final hand saw him pick off another bluff with two pair to Michalek’s five-high as Tamero was crowned the Event #31 champion.
