When the deal was made 3-way, Christopher Fisher and Ted Doukas were both relatively short compared with Jordan Saccucci – but when Jordan went out in 3rd, Chris picked up most of those chips. When heads up play began, Chris enjoyed a 3-1 chip advantage.
Play continued for a little time before what looked to be a definitive all in showdown that pitted Chris’ against Ted’s dominated . The on the river brought Ted from behind, however, and play continued.
A few hands later there was another all in and call, and once again Ted was dominated: against Chris’ . Once again, though, the deck had other ideas and Ted hit his on the flop and won the hand – and this time it was significant, the two players were now almost even in chips.

Consequently, on the very next hand Ted shoved all in with and found a quick call from Chris, holding just . Again, the cards spoke:
Chris had won the hand, and when the stacks were counted down, he had won the tournament as well. Congratulations!
