It was a grueling day of play totaling a little over 14 hours. Ross Wilson has ascended amongst the 95 player field to take down his first PPT trophy. He defeated Johnny Dalphond in heads-up play to take home $7,855 along with the trophy. The field combined for a total prize pool of $27,075.
Wesley Kruger, and DJ Sharma started the day hot finding overwhelming chip leads both sitting near 200,000 at the start of the day. Kruger continued to hold the lead with bubble approaching. Wilson also appeared for the same time in the chip counts with him and Andrew Watt sitting at 257,000. Wilson brought play into the money, turning a straight against Ming Ashing.
From there eliminations were rapid with as Justin Pennell and Richard Gilliard fell early. Wilson found a double elimination knocking out Kruger and Roger Manoll turning his wrap into the nut straight. Manoll survived longer than others expected as he was left short stacked calling off with the nut full house against a flopped straight flush. Dalphond also found an elimination fading Zhang’s overwhelming amount of outs to bring play 6-handed.
His hot streak would continue as he flopped the world against Watt’s pocket queens. He rivered trips to add another elimination to his record. Dalphond and Wilson emerged as the clear favourites and were set to battle shortly. John Donnelly found a double to earn a ladder up, as Leon Doublet hit the rail.
Dalphond eliminated Donnelly shortly after to set up the battle between the two titans. Wilson picked up hands and used relentless aggression to increase the difference in stacks. Dalphond managed to battle back, but through higher blinds was actively being blinded out.
He moved all in, and was called off by Wilson. Both players had double suit connectors, but Wilson flopped a full house. The turn sealed the deal to give Wilson his first PPT title.
