Bill and Robert were knocked out in 9th and 8th place, and after two levels of play, Larry bubbled when his AK couldn’t crack pocket 10s. We were in the points money. After another hour of play, including a controversial all-in hand that required a TD ruling, we were heads up: Last week’s champ, Rod Flora vs. Piranha veteran Jan Klimala. Rod, hoping for back-to-back wins, began heads-up play with a commanding chip lead. Jan kept the aggression on and ground him down, ending up turning the tables and becoming chip leader. In the final hand, Rod’s suited proved no match for Jan’s , and Jan took it down.
