"wnbgambler", gone in fifth, was another player who experienced an unfortunate river card, as "edu22.sp" hit a third queen to move ahead of their top pair top kicker. "AAlexKP" then got their second final table scalp ridding "Grekzorba" from the tournament in fourth place.

In the final hand of the final day, "AlexKP" raised to 1.5 million with "Nlzkm9" making the flat call. As expected, the remainder of the chips were shipped into the middle on the flop.
