Nach dem Marathon-Kampf um den Final Table beim $10.400 WPT World Championship Event der World Poker Tour im Wynn Las Vegas gab es einen sehr schnellen Finaltag, der mit Eliot Hudon als Sieger zu Ende ging.

Das nächste All-in kam von Benny Glaser mit Queens gegen 
von Jean-Claude Moussa . Das Board brachte Benny noch das Full House und er verdoppelte, während Moussa nur drei BBs übrig blieben. Auch Moussa konnte noch gegen Eliot Hudon verdoppeln, scheiterte dann aber gleich darauf mit 
an 
von Hudon, weil das Board

Mit 114 zu 34 Big Blinds ging Eliot Hudon als Chipleader ins Heads-up gegen Benny Glaser, erst 48 Hände waren an diesem Final Table gespielt. Benny Glaser konnte den Rückstand ein wenig verkürzen, aber die Entscheidung fiel dann schneller als erwartet. Mit
