Gunslinger 3 may regret having agreed to a chop when play got down to five players. He was second in the chip count and got a big share of the remaining prize pool in the chop, but had he held out for the win, he could have gone home even richer.
The players and the chip-count chop were:
RBC*: $121,197Gunslinger3: $110,921M.nosbocaJ: $89,013Bastinho06: $88,441OCTAGONS: $83,907The biggest beneficiary of the chop turned out to be RBC*. He got the biggest piece of the chop since he had the highest chip count, but just two hands after the chop he lost a massive pot to Gunslinger3 and eventually ended up in fourth place.
In the end it came down to Gunslinger3 against M.nosbocaJ for the remaining $30,000 left from the chop. M.nosbocaJ was looking at a pretty hefty deficit with his $9.4 million in chips against Gunslinger3's $67 million.
Gunslinger3 won the first three hands of heads-up play pre-flop, and M.nosbocaJ reclaimed chips over the next three hands, but there wouldn't be a miraculous comeback for the Swede.
In the seventh hand, his pocket fives went up against Gunslinger3's #Jc#Td and the flop brought #Kd#2d#Jh to give Gunslinger3 the lead. When the turn and river came #7h#9c, Gunslinger3 had the win.
