Final Table Action
Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos was the first final table player to hit the rail after getting it in with big slick against the ace-four of Rudolph, who paired his four on the flop. Mateos was soon joined by Alexandros "Pwndidi" Theologis, who Rudolph busted after his nine-seven got there against Theologis' king-six.
"hello_totti" entered the final table eighth in chips but managed to score double-up after double-up to stay alive and in contention. The run-good for the Russian player ended when their pair of jacks ran into the eventual winner's set of eights, sending them out in fourth place for a total score of $81,446.
Sam "Str8$$$Homey" Greenwood lost most of his stack when he got into an all-in confrontation with pocket nines against the pocket aces of Volkmann. Shortly after, Greenwood was eliminated in third place for $112,483 when his top pair couldn't hold when Volkmann's turned a straight.
Heads-Up Play
Volkmann started heads-up play with a big chip advantage against Rudolph, who entered Day 2 as chip leader. The chip divide only increased when Rudolph folded on the river in a three-bet pot, leaving him just 4.7 million chips to his opponent's 26.1 million. He managed to chip up a bit until a hand where Volkmann rivered a Broadway straight.
The final hand came when Rudolph jammed on the turn with a pair of fours and Volkmann called with just ace-high. Volkmann made a pair of queens on the river and earned his third WCOOP victory.
