After Mark ��bansman�� Bansemer bubble the tournament in 207th place, the in-the-money bust outs came at a rapid pace and included Jamie ��DanBilzerian�� Kerstetter (206th - $1,047.97), Landon ��ActionDealer�� Tice (133rd - $1,333.78), Phil ��Lumestackin�� Hellmuth (114th - $1,429.05), and Ryan ��protential�� Laplante (99th - $1,524.32), who was cashing his eighth tournament in a row and 13th cash overall.
Others to fall before the final table were Jason ��haderade�� Somerville (87th - $1,619.59), Ryan ��bitc0in�� Riess (60th - $2,000.67), Vanessa ��ContainsNuts�� Kade (55th - $2,000.67), Ari ��phil-ivey�� Engel (39th - $3,429.72), Daniel ��DNegs�� Negreanu (30th �C $5,144.58), Katie ��azulciel�� Stone (16th - $8,288.49), and final table bubble boy Randy ��StayAlive�� Ohel (7th - $19,244.54).
Dunst began the final table with a big chip lead and immediately set about building upon it. First, he used king-jack suited to outdraw Jon ��havuuuuuc�� Turner��s ace-nine, and then he woke up with pocket kings after Krista ��Pollux�� Gifford had jammed her short stack with king-ten. Gifford flopped a gutshot straight draw but missed to fall in fifth place.
With four players remaining, Dunst sat with more than 13 million while his three competitors were all under 3 million. James ��paymycollege�� Pace then absorbed the short stack of Charles ��ilosestackz Phillips�� when ace-ten held against jack-eight after an ace appeared on the flop.
With three players remaining, Alec ��Tango_Bravo�� Parslow got his last 4.1 million all in preflop with ace-king suited only to get outdrawn by Dunst, who hit a runner-runner straight with his ace-nine. That allowed Dunst to take a 13.1 million to 7.3 million chip lead into heads-up play against Pace.
The stacks were close to even when the defining hand played out. Pace wound up with a seven-high straight while Dunst, who was the shorter stack by just a hair, had a spade flush to double. Pace was left with less than a big blind, doubled it, and then went bust the hand after that running six-three into aces.
The next tournament on the schedule �C Event #22: $500 NLH Turbo Deepstack �C will take place at 3 p.m. PDT on Wednesday. The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will once again be reporting all the action, so be sure to tune in then to see who captures the next 2020 WSOP bracelet!
