Bearded Mike knocked Phil out early and took Brandon's chips as well to build a huge stack. Candy finished off a depleted Tim and despite being third in chips Hank promised a win. Of course, heads-up wound up between him and Mike, with Sean cashing in third.
Bearded Mike started with not quite a two-to-one chip advantage, which quickly swung to Hank. After a long series of KCL took a large chunk out of a steaming Mike, the players took a brief break. The key hand (above) had Mike AI against Hank who had taken the lead in the hand. A call would have left Hank with only about 3,000 chips, but he eventually laid down the 6 in ace-to-five. Fittingly, the last hand of the TOC was another A-to-5 hand.
