Zachary Humphrey was the first to exit the final table after his stack was crippled earlier in the day. He shoved what was left of his stack with Kc-7c and was called by Randy Haddox who was holding 10h-8h. Haddox made a straight after the board ran Qd-Kh-Js-7h-Ac. Humphrey goes home with $27,199.

Hasan Habib fell next courtesy of Barry Greenstein. During Limit Hold’em. Habib re-raised Greenstein pre-flop and was called. Greenstein bet out on the 3c-Jd-8c flop and Habib was forced to go all-in. Greenstein had top pair with Jh-9h while Habib had Ace-High with Ac-10d. The turn and river did not help Habib and he was left with $30,641 for eighth place.

Haddox left the table next after he went all-in pre-flop with A-K. Barry Greenstein called with K-J but got lucky when he hit a Jack on the turn. Haddox settled for seventh place and $36,084. Matt Woodward exited on the very next hand when he shoved pre-flop with Ah-10h. Unfortunately for Woodward, Bahador Ahmadi was holding Pocket Aces. The board was no help to Woodward and he was left in sixth place with $44,520.

Greenstein was enjoying a rollercoaster game but that was soon put to an end. After losing a big chunk of his stack to Ylon Schwartz, Greenstein decided to gamble his stack holding 8h-6c on a Kd-2h-2s flop. Schwartz called with Pocket Queens. The 10c at the turn and 9c of the river didn’t matter and Greenstein was out in fifth place with $57,671.

Karlo Lopez entered the final table as chip leader but his luck has ended as he was sent to the rail next. He lost to Schwartz who was holding Pocket Sixes for a set, leaving him with $78,628 for fourth place. This put Schwartz in the lead right before dinner break. Eventual winner Ahmadi was the short stack at this point.

Ahmadi, however, bounced back after the short break as he started winning pots. After a mere half an hour, Ahmadi was holding chip lead. Ahmadi continued his run and he eliminated his remaining opponents in quick succession. Schwartz exited in third place for $112,967 when he shoved All-In pre-flop after Ahmadi raised to 105,000. Ahmadi called with As-2s versus Schwartz’s Qd-10s. The  board ran 8c-3h-5s-Kd-Kc and Ahmadi won the pot.

Heads up play went very quickly. All chips were in the middle of the table with a Ad-2d-7s flop. Ahmadi had a flush draw with Jd-3d while John McGuinness was ahead with Pocket Tens. But Ahmadi hit a flush when a Kd fell on the turn and McGuinness will not improve with the 4c river. For his runner-up finish, McGuinness won $172,227.

Bahador Ahmadi goes home with his very first gold bracelet and a whopping $278,804. By the way, Ahmadi is not a stranger to the WSOP. He finished in fourth place at Event #13, $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em earlier this month where he won $139,934. Needless to say, Ahmadi has been finding the WSOP profitable

Naalden started the day with 755,000 in chips. Almost immediately, as soon as the day started at 10,000/20,000 blinds, Naalden won pots versus Steve Cowley and Tommy Hang to increase his stack even more. But it was Rep Porter who left the game first after he ran into Jameson Painter’s Pocket Aces. Porter won $19,594 for ninth place.

Unfortunately for Painter, his end was also near. Alex Keating got lucky to river a full house to cripple Painter’s stack. Then he was eliminated by Naalden. Painter re-raised after Naalden raised under the gun and was called. Naalden check-raised Painter all-in after the 6h-7s-10c flop. Painter called with Kh-Qh while Naalden had top pair with 10d-8h. An Ac hit the turn and a 9h hit the river, giving Naalden a straight and sending Painter home with $21,819 for eighth place.

Jared O’ Dell’s Ad-10d was simply no match to Tommy Hang’s Ah-Qd. Hang hit two pair at the flop and O’Dell hit the rail with $25,439 for seventh place. Danny Qutami exited next when his Ad-10c was outflopped by Naalden’s Ks-Jd. Naalden then sent Alex Keating home in fifth place for $39,977 when he won a coinflip with his pocket fives versus Keating’s Ac-Kd.

Tommy Hang was sent home in fourth place with $54,182 when his As-5h lost over Naalden’s Pocket Tens. Naalden continued to run over the table when his 6c-3c made a flush to take out Ian Johns who had to settle for third place and a very respectable sum of $77,576.

Despite Naalden’s insurmountable lead (Naalden was holding 2,300,000 in chips versus Steve Cowley’s 325,000), Cowley made a valiant stand as he did close the gap to just 400,000. But Naalden rebounded and soon increased his chip lead once more. On the last hand, Naalden raised and Cowley shoved all-in with Ad-5d. Naalden had Qc-8s but the board gave him the win as it ran out Qs-9h-10h-4d-10s. Cowley earned $117,902 for his 2nd place finish while Naalden took home $190,770.

Scott Clements was chip lead entering the final table and he used this to his advantage by busting Antony Lellouche in ninth place. For his final table early exit, Lellouche won $29,965. Armando Ruiz was eliminated in eighth place for $32,105—a respectable finish for Ruiz who picked up his first cash in a major tournament.

In a confrontation between John Racener and Robert Campbell culminated in Racener’s elimination in seventh place. No tears for Racener as it has proven to be a great WSOP poker year as this is his third cash for the series.

With a 4-to-1 chip lead versus Brett Richey, it didn’t take long for de Wolfe to take the tournament. On the last hand, Richey bet after the 10c-8c-4d flop. He was checked-raised by de Wolfe and Richey went all-in. De Wolfe called with two pair holding Ad-Qc-8d-4h. Richey had a wrap straight draw and top pair with Qd-Js-10h-9h.
