Final table action got underway quickly with the elimination of Christopher “Pokeher2014” Fuchs in ninth when he found himself all in with aces and called by Gary "SaquonNYG26" Belyalovsky who turned trip-threes. Soon after “BeekMill” hit the rail in eighth when he ran his queens into the kings of Hasson.
Jason "TruthChronic" Pew was the next casualty as he exited in seventh with a straight draw against the top-pair of Belyalovsky. On the very next hand, Kevin "gk.poker" Knight was in a flip situation with ace-king against the sixes of Hasson and could not improve, sending him out in sixth.
Madsen made a deep run looking to pick up another gold bracelet but fell short when he was all in with ace-king against the eights of Belyalovsky and did not improve for a fifth place finish. Andrew ”WATCHGUY42” Lichtenberger found ace-king as well, and like the others didn’t go his way when he ran into aces, sending him out in fourth. Dave "Monkeee" Elliott moved in with nine-seven suited and could not find a pair against the ace-three of Belyalovsky, exiting him in third place.
The heads-up battle went back and forth against Belyalovsky and Hasson but in the end it was the pocket tens for Hasson that held up against ace-five to eliminate Belyalovsky in second place and score the WSOP gold bracelet.
