Dunst Held a Considerable Lead to Opponent Pace at the Beginning of the Heads-Up Play
The event saw the bubble burst by Mark “bansman” Bansemer, who remained 207th, and the in-the-money eliminations started at a rapid pace. Some of the notables who finished in the money were Phil “Lumestackin” Hellmuth, Jamie “DanBilzerian” Kerstetter and Ryan “protential” Laplante.
At the time when the final table was formed, it was Tony Dunst who held a big chip lead and started building upon an even bigger stack. When there were only four players standing, Dunst had over 13 million in chips, while his three remaining opponents all held stacks of under 3 million. After two of the players went bust, the heads-up play began, with Dunst holding a 13.1-million chip lead to the 7.3-million chip stack held by Pace.
At the time when the defining hand was played out, the two players’ stacks were close to even, but it was Dunst who held a better hand end eventually got crowned as the winner.
