Action was fairly slow till three-way battle started between Thomas, Firsau and Shatilov. It was the elimination of Shatilov which gave Thomas a huge chip lead and finally lead to him winning the tourney. This gigantic three way hand had the players on the following:
Thomas:
Firsau:
Shatilov:
Shatilov had gone all in while Thomas snap called and Firsau also called the bet. The board tabled with .eliminating Shatilov and giving Thomas a huge pot. Heads up action thus lasted only 2 hands with the final hand where Thomas raised pre-flop and Firsau called all-in. This is what happened:
Firsau:
Thomas: .
The board was thus giving Thomas the Main Event win.
