Sreyleap Prom and Mitchael Ferguson got into a blind versus blind battle. We missed the exact action, but the hand resulted in a huge 2M pot.

Sreyleap Prom:
Mitchael Ferguson:

Board:

Prom was taken out in 5th, allowing Zhao Kang Peng to squeeze one more pay jump with his micro stack. Peng went out on the next hand, handing his few chips to Stoffmaker.

After this, it was François Tarrab’s (title picture) turn to fall, another victim of the Stoffmaker, who seems to collecting Bounties. Tarrab’s could not improve, and Stoffmaker’s held strong.

The heads-up match is so decided, with fairly even stacks, favoring Mitchael Ferguson by a tiny margin. The Trophy is out on the table. Good luck to both!

Prom wins a Bounty, but more importantly, some very valuable final table chips.

Shortly after, Harley Stoffmaker got it in with against Zhao Kang Peng’s . Stoffmaker hit an ace, and doubled up to 1.2M, crippling Peng in the process. Even though he doubled him up twice since then, he still has a cool million in chips.

Prom pumped her fist when the flop fell, then froze on the turn, realizing she had to dodge a diamond to claim the whole pot. She did, and eliminated Soares.

After much action and chip movement without any knockout, it was Matthew Wilkins who went out in 9th. He pushed his 100K stack in the middle from the button, and watched Sreyleap Prom in the small blind as she pushed he chip-lead stack forward. If her intent was to isolate, it was unsuccessful, as Mitchael Ferguson also went all-in from the big blind for roughly 250K, holding the goods.

The board came , bringing hope for Prom. She was one open-ended away from performing a double knockout, but the river allowed another triple up for Ferguson. he is now very healthy, holding about 700K.

9th place: Matthew Wilkins – $1,860.00

Since the formation of the final table, play has slowed down a little bit, or rather the quality of the game has improved. Stacks being deeper, small raises and 3-bets are common occurrence, rendering the game more interesting.

This hand, however, is an exception. Mitchael Ferguson (title picture) raised all-in from an early position with about 100K, and Harley Stoffmaker shoved over the top. Zhao Kang Peng was in the small blind, and decided it was time to commit his own short stack (200K).

Mitchael Ferguson:
Harley Stoffmaker:
Zhao Kang Peng:

Board:

Ferguson triples up, Kang Peng’s stack remains the same, and Stoffmaker takes a 200K hit, left with about 350K.

Play on!
