Entering the final table with the chip lead of Event 13-H was whereisdonny "whereisdonny" T. thanks to this hand. A series of preflop raised led to "K_0_S_T_Y_A" being all in for about 32 big blinds with {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Holding {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and about double the stack size, whereisdonny scored the elimination when the board ran out {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} to set up the final table. Here was how they stacked up:
Seat Player Chips

2 Ami "UhhMee" Barer 437,228
3 Josh "JBT449" Bergman 458,968

7 Giuseppe “Ansgar2000″ Pantaleo 115,205
8 zugzwang16 99,594
9 Rory "Mafews" Mathews 152,207
The first to fall was "zugzwang16" at the 3,500/7,000/875 level. Giuseppe “Ansgar2000″ Pantaleo shoved under the gun for 97,830 and "zugzwang16" re-raised all-in for less than an ante more. The rest of the table ducked out and "zugzwang16" tabled {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} to Pantaleo's {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The board rolled out {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to give the pot to Pantaleo, leaving "zugzwang16" with less than an ante before busting on the following hand.
A short-stacked "Fiskin1" was down to about four big blinds before shoving with {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} from the cutoff. Giuseppe “Ansgar2000″ Pantaleo called with {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} from the big blind and collected that pot as the board fell {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, eliminating "Fiskin1" in eighth place.
The next elimination came in the form of a double at 4,000/8,000/1,000. It started when whereisdonny "whereisdonny" T. opened to 16,560 under the gun. Josh "JBT449" Bergman called from the hijack, as did "ROSTBURK" from the cutoff. When action folded to Rory "Mafews" Mathews in the big blind, he jammed for 175,064.whereisdonnyfolded over to Bergman who re-raised all in for 220,443. "ROSTBURK" called with a covering stack and revealed {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} which was well ahead of Bergman's {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Mathews' {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} board brought no help to either, leaving only five players remaining.
"ROSTBURK" scored the next knockout as well, sending Ami "UhhMee" Barer to the rail. whereisdonny T. opened to 16,560 in the cutoff and was called by Barer on the button. "ROSTBURK" squeezed from the small blind to 51,500, which folded action back to Barer. He proceeded to jam for 340,203 with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and "ROSTBURK" looked him up with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Nothing helpful came for Barer as the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.
Things didn't slow down for "ROSTBURK" just yet. At 5,000/10,000/1,000, Giuseppe “Ansgar2000″ Pantaleo four-bet shoved for 216,412 after opening from the cutoff. "ROSTBURK," who had three-bet from the small blind, called with {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and defeated {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} when the {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board didn't help Pantaleo.
Three-handed play began with "ROSTBURK" holding 1,604,490 to "WushuTM's" 502,452 and whereisdonny "whereisdonny" T.'s 397,608. It lasted for about an hour and 20 minutes before "WushuTM" busted in third. At the 7,000/14,000/1,750 level, "ROSTBURK" opened to 30,800 from the small blind and "WushuTM" re-raised all in from the big blind for 269,478. "ROSTBURK" called with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, racing against the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} of "WushuTM." The board ran out a safe {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades} for "ROSTBURK," giving the Swede five straight eliminations entering heads-up play with more than a 2:1 chip lead.
The match went back and forth with whereisdonny grabbing the lead, but in the end, "ROSTBURK" emerged victorious. On the final hand at 10,000/20,000/2,500, whereisdonny opened to 41,500 on the button. "ROSTBURK" popped it to 102,500 from the big blind, whereisdonnycalled, and an {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop followed. A bet of 81,500 from "ROSTBURK" was called by whereisdonny, leading to the {8-Spades} turn. "ROSTBURK" slowed down and checked, calling when whereisdonny bet 142,000 to see the {6-Spades} river. Another check from "ROSTBURK" led to another bet from whereisdonny. This one, though, was all-in for 880,830. There was no decision from "ROSTBURK" who called quickly and tabled the nuts, {A-Spades}{5-Spades}. whereisdonny's move with {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} fell short, but he still earned an excellent pay day of $140,280.
"ROSTBURK" owned the final table to the tune of $190,380.
