The eight-handed Final Table was ultimately drawn as follows:
Seat 1: Greg Mueller – 748,000
Seat 2: Konstantin Puchkov – 91,000
Seat 3: David Benyamine – 155,000
Seat 4: Viatcheslav Ortynsiky – 311,000
Seat 5: Chris Klodnicki – 657,000
Seat 6: Tom Schneider – 874,000
Seat 7: Benjamin Scholl – 279,000
Seat 8: Adam Friedman – 803,000
First out was WSOP 2010 $1,500 HORSE champion Konstantin Puchkov, meeting Adam Friedman’s pair of nines on the turn in an Omaha Hi-Lo hand. WSOP and WPT title holder David Benyamine lost his chips in two Razz hands and he was followed by Friedman, who, despite having a strong start, dropped back significantly in a Stud Hi-Lo hand against Schneider and lost the rest of his stack in Razz.
Schneider then moved on to call Chris Klodnicki’s all-in in a Razz hand on the sixth street and the latter got a five on the seventh for a pair and he was out in 5th. With a long 3rd day, the remaining four players had to abandon game and return on Day 4 with the following stacks:
Seat 1: Greg Mueller – 140,000
Seat 4: Viatcheslav Ortynsiky – 680,000
Seat 6: Tom Schneider – 2,500,000
Seat 7: Benjamin Scholl – 600,000
About 20 minutes into Day 4, Viatcheslav Ortynsiky was out in 4th, re-raising all-in on Schneider’s raise in a Hold’em hand and the latter calling, holding A 2 against Ortynsiky’s K 4 . The flop came A-Q-3-8-4 and Ortynsiky was eliminated.
Still on the same level, Mueller finished 3rd: in a Stud hand, Benjamin Scholl folded on the third street, while Mueller called all-in on Schneider’s bet on the fourth.
Mueller: (8 8 ) / 7 T 7 Q / (5 )
Schneider: (K 3 ) / K 9 6 9 / (9 )
Despite the flush, Mueller’s hand was cracked by Schneider’s full house and the heads-up was set.
Tom Schneider – 3,035,000
Benjamin Scholl – 885,000
In only a couple of hands, the event was over: they shoved in a Hold’em hand on the A J 6 K board.
Schneider: A T
Scholl: K Q
River: J
Schneider managed to win a second HORSE bracelet in this year’s WSOP and a fourth title altogether.
The end results are as follows:
1st: Tom Schneider – $318,955
2nd: Benjamin Scholl – $197,228
3rd: Greg Mueller – $129,600
4th: Viatcheslav Ortynskiy – $94,664
5th: Chris Klodnicki – $70,093
6th: Adam Friedman – $52,613
7th: David Benyamine – $40,039
8th: Konstantin Puchkov – $30,876
