1st Place: Therese Belisle ($10,200)

After agreeing to an equity chop with opponent Thomas Powers, Therese Belisle was not shy about getting her chips in the middle.  She had doubled through Thomas with pocket nines against pocket sixes, which gave her a slight chip lead.

Not long after, Thomas was all in with [4d][4c] against Therese's [Ac][9s], the same hand she eliminated Paul Freedman in 5th place with.  Therese flopped an ace when it came [8c][Ad][8s], and she closed the door on Thomas's two outer when the [As] hit the turn.  The meaningless [Js] river fell, and the stacks were counted down.  It was confirmed that Thomas was covered and eliminated.

Therese will take the title along with $10,200, the trophy, and the watch.

Therese had stood up for all of her big pots at the final table as she believed it was lucky, so it was only fitting that we'd take her winners photo standing up as well.
Congratulations, Therese!

The final board
Therese can't believe she won!
