* ICM Deal of Final Two Players
This victory is the best live poker score of Mulder’s career thus far as he adds a nice chunk to his career winnings to edge above $800,000 in total. Mulder started to gain the chip lead midway through the day and became a real factor heading into the final table as the largest stack.
The day began three hours later than was scheduled as play started around 3:30 p.m local time with ten entries. The field would steadily grow with new faces and re-entries as the day wore on.
Among those entries were Tony G and Leon Tsoukernik who would both indeed enter the fray at the last possible moment with late registration after the dinner break. But neither one would last very long as they could not spin their stacks up beyond starting and were eliminated quickly.
Action would slow down when the unofficial final table of nine was reached until a double elimination sent Chris Brewer and Sirzat Hissou both out the door on the same hand by Mulder. The money bubble would be breached shortly after that when Thoms Muehloecker was also dismissed by Mulder to bring the field down to the final six who would be paid.
Nick Petrangelo was the first elimination within the money when he went out in sixth place after a lengthy segment of six-handed play and then the long short-stacked Ole Schemion followed him out the door in fifth place.
Zhuang Ruan finished in fourth place as Pardo took him out. Leonard Maue then went out in third place after he had had the chip lead at different parts in the middle of the day.
The heads-up battle between Mulder and Pardo would then commence with Pardo holding a 2 to 1 lead to start. Pardo started to pull away in the early stages as he looked to win yet another EPT title. But Mulder would take over the reins in a key hand where he got called with a flush. He would extend the lead from there before Pardo reeled it back slightly before the ICM deal was discussed and agreed upon to wrap things up in the wee hours of the morning after about 13 hours of play.
