Jason Koon finally wins a bracelet, though runner-up Gabor Szabo was unlucky a couple of times, but them's the breaks in heads-up. Third-placed Henri Puustinen (better known as online pro 'buttonclicker') benefitted from the delays, as he just passed his 21st birthday and became eligible to play two months ago, and became one of the youngest ever to cash the WSOP. I'm not sure whether he would have been the youngest Vegas bracelet-winner if he'd gone all the way, but it doesn't matter now.

Inspired substituting by Simon enabled him to pick up 25 points from Koon's victory.

The air-con was on quite strong during the heads-up tournament:

I tried hard to find something interesting that happened in this tournament, but being delayed by computer failure appears to have been the highlight.

Four-time bracelet-winner Michael Gathy started the final table in the lead, but may have made a mistake by giving an interview just before it started, in which he set out his plan to pressurise the other players, who he reckoned wouldn't want to take risks when there were such large pay jumps. It may have cost him, as he ended up losing half his stack when a massive pot-sized River bluff was called by the eventual winner with A5 on a 45JKT board.

Gathy gives way his plan, for which he paid the price: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpoq8_-ERY8

Our own Firaldo just missed reaching another final table, while it seems that Simon's substituting skills aren't always as on-point as his draft of Jason Koon just in time for his victory in #11, as the discarded Elky came good in #13. Bertrand is no longer one of our players, but I've left him in just to irritate Simon.



David Jackson is a bit too honest.
