In the final hand, it was sixes for Kevin Noble against ace-four for Sebastian Crema. Crema hit his ace on the turn, and it was all over. They all chopped the final four prizes for $4,559 each, so this was just for Hendon glory and the trophy.
The final four players decided to chop up the prizes evenly, with all the stacks now roughly even, and less than 10 bigs average. They will play it out for the trophy, but all players are earning $4,559.
Francis Fan was down to the short stack when Tony Ma shoved under the gun. Fan called off blind, and found Q♥4♥ when he looked. He was facing A♣10♥ for Ma, but Fan found a four on the 4♦9♣K♣ flop. The rest of the A♠10♠ board was all Ma, however, and he sent Fan home with two pair.
Kevin Noble is the big stack right now, with Tony Ma second, Michael Bingham third, and Sebastian Crema on the short stack.
Tony Ma made it 105k to go from the cutoff before Kevin Noble shoved from the small blind. Leon Doublet was in the big blind, and hit the tank for a bit before calling off for less than Noble’s shove and Ma backed out.
Doublet was dominated with ace-ten into ace-king, and the 9♣7♠9♦8♣Q♦didn’t change anything.
Leon Doublet raised the button to 90k, then called when Francis Fan shoved his button for more. It was a fair fight between A♣6♥ for Fan against K♣Q♠ for Doublet.
Doublet flopped two pair and held on K♦Q♦2♥5♥8♣.
Shortly after, Tony Ma raised his blind over a bet from Leon Doublet to 320k, leaving just 45k behind. Doublet called, and the rest went in on the 6♠10♠A♠ flop.
Ma was on two pair with A♥10♦ against the pocket nines for Doublet, and the K♣2♥ runout didn’t change anything.
Kevin Noble shoved for 135k from the hijack, and Leon Doublet asked for a count next to act. When he heard 135k, he flat-called, and the rest of the table folded.
Kevin Noble: A♠5♠ Leon Doublet: A♣10♠
Noble was dominated, but he flopped a spade draw, then turned it on 5♦Q♠3♠6♠10♥.
Francis Fan raised his button to 50k, then snapped it off when Nick Johnson shoved the small blind. Johnson had suited connectors with 9♠7♠ but he ran into the rockets for Fan. The aces held on K♣4♦5♣10♦7♦.
Sharmark Mohamed busted for the 8th place min-cash of $645 before I got to the table for the pictures, but the rest of the ITM players are pictured below.

The field for the side game is confirmed at 78 entries, for prizes of $22,230. Eight players will share those prizes later tonight, and I expect this to be a pretty quick on, with the field already 8 off the money and an average stack of about 25 big blinds.
The Deepstack Hyper prizes are over $20k, with 72 entries on the board. Level 11 has a bit more than 5 minutes to play, with a break following, so entries will be closed in a bit more than 20 minutes.
With Level 4 about to to begin, the Deepstack Hyper field is already nearly at 50 entries. The prizes are just shy of $14k, with about 2.5 hours left to enter, so this is looking like it’s going to be one of the biggest fields of the week.
The two-card deepstack hyper is the evening game on Tuesday night, with the action starting at 6 PM. Players get 40k to start, with rapid-fire 15-minute blinds to whittle that down.
Players can get a stack for the first 11 levels of play, so the last chance to buy in should be about 9:15 PM. The game plays to a winner, and it will likely be a quick finish, with past versions typically finishing around 1 AM or earlier.
