Team Online Martin AABenjaminAA Hruby was capable of finding the precise cards while cashing in 324th place ($362.43). Team PokerStars pro Jan Heitmann was found just a little higher up the pay ladder but after losing a couple of flips bowed out in 154th place ($679.56). Sebastian Ruthenberg also enjoyed a protracted run tonight but was stopped by iberbiber as pocket sevens for the united kingdom pro was unable to dodge A♣8♣ on a K♦ K♣ 9♦ A♦ 4♦ as Ruthenberg collected $776.64 in 131st place. That left Spanish Team PokerStars pro Juan Maceiras seeking to add to his bankroll from the massive €315,000 cash for 5th place on the EPT Madrid Grand Final. With the blinds sitting at 6K/12K ante 1.2K Maceiras would open shove from early position for 218,711 because it folded to BetrThanPhil (who almost snagged a SCOOP watch a couple of weeks ago in Event #35-L) within the cutoff holding A♣Q♥ and covering Juan's stack. BetrThanPhil would make the decision as Maceiras turned over K♥T♦. Despite flopping an open ended straight draw, Macerias would watch the 6♦ Q♣ J♦ 2♥ 4♠ board end his tournament night in 94th place ($906.08).
Juan Maceiras - 94th place
Just after the nine and half hour mark only ten players and two tables remained as hand for hand play trickled into the 80K/160K ante 16K level. migsgreen was hanging on with just 1.1 million facing a raise to 480,000 chips from Ab4r4 within the cutoff. Holding T♥J♥ within the big blind migsgreen fired the remainder of his missiles into the center and got a decision from ab4r4 who showed A♠4♦. The jack within the door was good for migsgreen however the second card paired up Ab4r4's ace J♣ A♦ 4♣ 8♣ 2♥ and held for the 2.3 million chip pot shipping $3,883.20 to migsgreen for tenth place and starting our final table below:
Seat 1: juancito10 (2896654 in chips)
Seat 2: Grizzlypower (8047090 in chips)
Seat 3: iberbiber (1938681 in chips)
Seat 4: mister MH (2964530 in chips)
Seat 5: circuslover (1663584 in chips)
Seat 6: kronkol (3432072 in chips)
Seat 7: BetrThanPhil (6139493 in chips)
Seat 8: Ab4r4 (3613674 in chips)
Seat 9: pastika (1664222 in chips)
It pays to knock out the Team PokerStars players
Two of our final nine got the consideration of knocking out the resident pros. BetrThanPhil was better than Juan Maceiras and iberbiber took down Sebastian Ruthenberg before both players assured themselves $5,177.60 for making tonight's final table.
Ok, maybe it doesn't pay that well to knock out the Team Pros
With the blinds at 80K/160K ante 16K only Grizzlypower and BetrThanPhil held greater than 20 big blinds because the remainder of the pack would have to pick a place soon. Iberbiber's spot was holding J♦A♦ within the small blind calling the chip leader's shove from the button with 1.6 million chips. Grizzlypower would want some help so as to add to the chip lead flipping up the dominated A♥3♣, and that help wasted no time showing up because the first card at the board paired up the trey, holding at the 3♠ 4♥ A♠ Q♣ 8♠ board to bump iberbiber out in ninth place ($5,177.60).
1-2-3 DODGEBALL!
The time is available in every tournament where you're sitting with a pocket pair hoping it finds how to dodge a host of outs. Ab4r4's turn to begin bobbing and weaving came within the hand below:

All-in preflop for 1.2 million holding pocket sixes 6♦6♣ Ab4r4 was trying to parry his way in the course of the board cards as kronkol held A♣Q♦. The flop J♣ 8♣ T♣ added more balls being thrown on the Switzerland player as kronkol picked up straight and flush draws to his overcards. The scoring hit came at the turned 9♥ because the 3♥ at the river didn't salvage a chopped straight and Ab4r4 claimed eight place cash ($8,090.00).
Exiting from the large top
Just two hands later BetrThanPhil was already enjoying a good stack of chips and facing the fast stack 1.1 million chip shove by circuslover within the big blind. BetrThanPhil would make the decision in addition to the chip leader Grizzlypower for a potentially messy pot. The 2 chip leaders decided to not prod one another and checked down the 3♥6♠ A♦ 8♦ 6♥ board. BetrThanPhil was first to show, turning up two pair J♥A♥ as Grizzlypower and circuslover could only muck their hands while watching another 3.6 million chips slid over to BetrThanPhil. circuslover ride on the carnival came to finish in seventh place ($14,562.00).
Two aggressive big stacks enter just one leaves
As mentioned with circuslover's elimination, Grizzlypower and BetrThanPhil held the chip lead with aggression and either one of them got their chips within the middle preflop with the blinds at 125K/250K ante 25K for a whopping 12.8 million chip pot. Watch the effects below:

The big hand showed to be a large cooler for Grizzlypower holding big slick A♠K♥ to BetrThanPhil's aces A♦A♣. No miracles 6♣ 4♦ 6♥ 9♦ 4♣ and no chips for Grizzlypower because the former chip leader's growl became a soft as a whisper exiting the overall table collapse sixth place ($21,034.00).
BetrThanAces? Didn't think so
With the blinds holding at 125K/250K ante 25K for a couple of more hands, BetrThanPhil took a little bit hit to his massive stack while doubling up pastika but still held an eight figure pile of chips. After kronkol raised it as much as 750K from the small blind, BetrThanPhil slyly gave the raise a bit of bump to 1.25 million. Holding just 219,844 more behind, kronkol called showing a suited ace A♦9♦. kronkol would wish some diamonds to triumph over the pocket aces A♣A♥ that perceived to have reappeared in BetrThanPhil's hand. Drawing dead by the turn T♠ 4♣ K♠ 7♦ Q♠ kronkol watched another tournament life fall to BetrThanPhil's aces, finishing in fifth place ($27,506.00). This will likely be kronkol's second fifth place finish within the Sunday Warm-up equaling his February 2010 feat.
Fans love quick deals (and so do bloggers)
Team Online's Andre Coimbra heeded the decision of our remaining four to hash out a deal, and in less time than it took to type this sentence the players took home the below amounts with $10,000.00 put aside for the winner.
pastika: $76,627.71
BetrThanPhil :$74,609.26
mister MH: $55,550.51

Take it at the run baby

Kings managed to stick off the turn 6♥ and river 8♠ as juancito10 profited almost $14K more from making the deal one hand earlier, taking home $51,154.13 in fourth place.
Too much pastika within the pie
Taking down five of six hands in a row, pastika (which feels like an extraordinary spice but actually is a tackle and bait shop in Wisconsin) continued to extend the chip lead going into the 150K/300K ante 30K blind level. After min-raising from the button, pastika would call mister MH's 4.5 million chip shove from the small blind. mister MH showed pocket eights 8♥8♠ and pastika would have to shake and bake a bit of for the win again, as his pocket fives 5♣5♠ were dominated. 9.4 million within the middle and it all would slide to pastika after another two outer spiked, this time with a dramatic five at the river Q♣ 2♦ T♥ T♠ 5♥ ending mister MH's night in third place ($55,550.51). The win arrange the prospective long heads-up battle below.
Potential not reached, winner found quickly

BetrThanPhil 4♦4♥
pastika A♣7♥
A race for the win as pastika would have to catch something one last time to disclaim BetrThanPhil the title.
