A Lithuanian came into Day 3 with the most chipsHowever, the final battle was far from easy. StorasSushis and benislovas were there to watch it live, so if you haven't seen it yet, we recommend you to watch the stream.
As we have already mentioned, the final 'either-or' table was certainly not an easy one, and perhaps the most memorable situation was, when thx4urm0n3y had KK and the Lithuanian had 1010 and, as if anticipating the danger, pre-flopped "or-or".
With 3 players left in the tournament a money-sharing agreement is adopted. Because Fernando "fviana" Viana had the most chips at the time, he received $771,416, while the Lithuanian was in second place with $689,976, and in third place Lonnine "thx4urm0n3y" Hallett collected $646,189.
After the divisions, the battle for first place and an additional $50 000 continued. This battle was won by Lithuanian "arbaarba", who defeated the A9 held by "fviana" in the final hand with 77!
