The Action of the Final Day
Teun "tinnoemulder" Mulder was the chip leader when the action resumed with Andre "PTFisherman23" Marques and Robin "robinho" Ylitalo not far behind as the two other big stacks. ICM considerations were prevalent with two short stacks and they would be the first to bow out as Cecilia "princes chu" Cafaro finished in 9th place and "77atlant77" was eliminated in the very next hand.
Accomplished American poker pro Michael "munchenHB" Telker had to settle for 7th place when he ran a suited ace into pocket tens and Denys "SantaZzz" Chufarin succumbed next about half an hour later. In a battle of the two shortest stacks, Andriy "Andre_Hansen" Lyubovetskiy came up short with king-jack against the ace-jack of Tonio "prrrak4783" R?der and that reduced the field to the final four.
What followed was a test of patience throughout the next two and a half hours. R?der doubled through Marques and all four players held the lead at some point. Mulder and Marques were left short but managed to get right back into it. Once Robin "robinho" Ylitalo was left short and the trio atop had very similar stacks, the first deal discussions broke out and failed to bring any conclusion.
Ylitalo fell right after the next scheduled break and the second deal discussions were successful. It didn't take long for the chips to start flying and Marques' flopped the top two pair locked up a double against Mulder, who then hit the rail shortly after. The Portuguese entered heads-up with a solid lead and even a major setback with kings versus ten-six suited was just a temporary annoyance as Marques steamrolled to victory after.
The final table was broadcasted on the PokerStars Twitch channel with cards-up coverage and commentary on a delay of at least 20 minutes. That wraps up the 2020 WCOOP and you can check out all the exclusive PokerNews news and live updates of all featured tournaments by clicking right here.
