Eleven hands in play, Kyle Julius found himself all-in with against the sixes of Nilles, busting in 9th place. Shortly after it was the turn of the Poker Brat to leave the stage, his was dominated against Getzwiller’s ace king and Hellmuth collected $46,553 for his run.

 

The bustouts were quick after eachother, with Lebedev’s ace-ten unable to suck out against Oliveira’s ace-queen. Sean Getzwiller got his chips in as a slight favourite, but his couldn’t win against Mandavia’s . Oliveira busted in fifth, his queen-ten didn’t get the desired help against Strelitz’ .

 

Mandavia was the chipleader at the final four, and he managed to deliver all the remaining knockouts. First Macedo’s was no good against the of the champion. Christian Nilles came in third when his queen-deuce couldn’t win against the ace-six.

 

In heads-up, Mandavia doubled through Strelitz to leave him cripled, with Mandavia flopping two pair versus just one pair of Strelitz. In the last hand, Strelitz shoved his last five big blinds with into Mandavia’s . A board of later Mandavia won his first bracelet.
