The finale started on Level 21 (2,000/6,000/12,000) and it only took three hands to see the first elimination. WSOP 2009 $2,500 NLHE champion Keven Stammen opened to 27,000 from the CO, Beauprez 3-bet to 61,000 from the BB, Stammen shoved with 308,000 in chips and Beauprez called.

The aces held and Beauprez’s stack increased to 1,583,000.
Eric Blair then doubled op twice on Mike Mustafa in two flips, taking the lead. Mustafa, dropping to the bottom of the chipcount, soon shoved with 57,000 in chips and got called by Manig Loeser, Blair as well as Beauprez. The three active players checked all the way the A-5-3-9-T board and Blair won with pocket sevens, eliminating Mustafa in 5th place.
By Level 24 (4,000/12,000/24,000), Loeser got the chiplead and he increased his stack further by eliminating 2009 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Cada; the latter showed A 7 against Loeser’s A 9 and the board featured four diamonds.
The heads-up was set on Level 25 (5,000/15,000/30,000): Blair opened to 60,000 from the Button, Beauprez 3-bet to 145,000 from the SB and Blair called. The flop came J 9 3 , Beauprez c-bet to 170,000, blair went all-in with 790,000 and Beauprez snap-called.
