Conor Beresford. His exit in tenth saw $15,550 head to his partypoker account.
The nine finalists sit down for the last time from 7:05 p.m. BST on April 27. Cuellar s 51,699,015 stack towers over that of second-placed
Miguel Lopes 34,044,013, but a Cuellar victory is far from a forgone conclusion.
That is because there are some superb players among the final nine. Canadian
Chanracy Khun (22,479,712) will certainly fancy his chances of capturing the $267,356 prize because he enters the final table third in chips. So too will the United Kingdom s
Jamie O Connor (18,729,333) and Lithuanian grinder
Karolis Sereika (16,965,790).
Those players occupying sixth place through ninth have more work to do than the players mentioned above if they are to triumph in this event, but each is capable of turning their fortunes around.

Pu hit two pair on the queen-ten-nine flop but Nuutinen picked up the gutshot to a straight. The king on the turn didn t change things but the jack on the river meant it was time for the final table.
The Final Table
It would take over an hour before DogeCoin2damoon would be the first to go thanks to Ferreira and five minutes later Nuutinen was eliminated by Daniels in eighth place. Zhao was next to go when he check-called on all streets for his tournament life with aces on the deuce-deuce-trey-ten-ten board. Nemeth who had put him under pressure held ace-ten for the runner-runner full house which was even more remarkable as Ferreira had the other ten.
