Heads-up play started very well for Mehdi but after Mathieu’s double, things started to tilt in his direction and the players were close to even – and then Mathieu moved ahead… and talk of a deal was resuscitated. They quickly agreed to reserve $3,500 plus the bracelet for the winner and chop the rest of the prize pool evenly between them. That is to say the players each took $26,820 with an additional $3,500 for the winner.

Almost as soon as the deal was done the players got involved in a hand that ended the tournament. On a flop of , Mehdi bet out and then Mathieu quickly raised all-in. Mehdi called for his tournament life.

Mathieu had hit two pair on the flop, holding while Mehdi had for just top pair. The turn came and the river was the .

1st place: Mathieu Tanguay, $30,320 and the championship bracelet

2nd place: Mehdi Alami, $26,820

Mathieu raised to 650K from the small blind and Mehdi shoved. Mathieu didn’t take long to call, flipping over . Mehdi had the and was well placed to end the affair then and there.

It wasn’t to be, however, as there was an on the flop (along with and ) and the turn and river ensured that Mathieu would live to play more hands as he has climbed to 7.3M

Martin had been extremely short stacked for some time but was managing to win some well-timed pots to climb the pay ladder considerably, until finally his stack was too short to fold any two cards. Mehdi has a monster stack and when he raised pre flop, Martin didn’t have much of a choice but to shove. Mehdi insta-called and the cards were flipped.

The board ran out and Mehdi eliminated another player.
