Day 3 started on two tables with Pham in the chiplead. Jonathan D'Souza, Mike DeGilio and Daniel Park got eliminated before the official final table was formed on Level 23 (2,000/8,000/16,000). In fact, a double elimination left only three players at the table: Nick Schwarmann raised to 32,000 and both Pham and Juanda called. The flop came Q 3 4 , Schwarmann bet 43,000, Pham called and Juanda raised all-in after tanking long. Schwarmann called instantly and Pham, after finding out he would finish 4th if called and lost, followed suit for a three-way all-in.
Schwarmann: A 7
Pham: K J
Juanda: Q 2
Turn: 5
River: 3
The river completing both flush draws, Schwarmann had the nut with the ace-high and so were Juanda as well as Pham eliminated in 5th and 4th places, respectively.
Seat 1: Justin Oliver – 1,140,000
Seat 3: Jared Jaffee – 534,000
Seat 4: Nick Schwarmann – 2,587,000
The Final Table continued but the heads-up was set soon, on the same level: Jared Jaffee check-raised to 90,000 on Schwarmann’s bet on the 7 6 Q flop. After thinking a bit, Schwarmann 3-bet all-in and Jaffee called.
Schwarmann: T 5
Jaffee: Q J
Turn: Q
River: 9
The clubs on the river gave Schwarmann his flush and Jaffee was out in 3rd.
Nick Schwarmann – 2,587,000
Justin Oliver – 1,140,000
Schwarmann had a major lead, which he further increased in the first hands of the heads-up. Justin Oliver, however, managed to gradually increase his stack, until he doubled up to take over the lead with a major pot of 1,592,000 in chips. Oliver then held tight onto his edge and did not let go. The tournament was over on Level 26 (5,000/15,000/30,000): Oliver raised to 60,000, Schwarmann 3-bet to 175,000, Oliver 4-bet to 350,000 and Schwarmann called. They both checked the 5 9 8 flop as well as the K turn. Schwarmann then went all-in on the 6 river and Oliver called.
Schwarmann: J T
Oliver: K 4
Schwarmann’s queen never fell and Oliver’s kings meant the end of the event and a first ever golden bracelet for him.
The end results are as follows:
1st: Justin Oliver – $309,071
2nd: Nick Schwarmann – $191,434
3rd: Jared Jaffee – $129,447
4th: David Pham – $89,736
