Viktor ”Isildur1” Blom opened from an early position to 225K. Niall Farrell and Victor Ramdin both called, and they went to the flop 3-way. Isildur1 placed a continuation bet of 350K, and only Niall tagged along. The turn and the river saw Isildur1 press hard with 1M and 2.5M. Both bets were called by Niall.
Isildur1:

Board:
Niall played his hand very solidly, waiting Viktor out and controlling the pot.
Shortly after, Isildur1 found himself in a really tough spot, and with a lot less chips than what he started the final with. Chance Kornuth opened a pot to 225K, and Isildur1 called. The flop came very relevant, and Isildur1 check called 200K. He also check called the turn for 675K, and when the monster river appeared, he check called an all-in bet that had him covered, after using all of his time extension cards.
Isildur1:
Chance:
Board:
What a terrible run out for Isildur1, who was sent to the rail rather early, a very sour conclusion considering his healthy stack at the start of the final. John Krpan and Anthony Zinno are happy campers, promoting into the money with just over 10 big blinds, while Chance runs away with the lead, our only player over 10M.
