The Lithuanian player entered Day 3 with the most chips, but the final battle was definitely not easy. The entire process was streamed live by StorasSushis and benislovas, so if you haven't seen it yet, we recommend watching the broadcast recording.
As we mentioned, the final table for “arbaarba” was definitely not easy, and one of the most memorable moments was when “thx4urm0n3y” had KK, and the Lithuanian had 1010. Sensing the impending danger, “arbaarba” folded pre-flop.
When there were 3 players left in the tournament, an agreement was made to split the money. Since Fernando “fviana” Viana had the most chips at that time, he received $771,416, while the Lithuanian player was in second place and got $689,976, and Lonnine “thx4urm0n3y” Hallett, who was in third place, collected $646,189.
After the split, the battle for first place and an additional $50,000 continued. This battle was won by the Lithuanian “arbaarba”, who defeated “fviana” with 77 against A9 in the final hand!
