Prizepool Information

The three final players all had very close chip stacks so they have decided to do an even three way chop and play one hand all-in blind for the trophy.

JeWook Oh, Seunghwan Lee, and Steve Berkowitz will all take home $53,350.

The final hand went as follows:

The dealer first ran the board out before any of the players looked at their cards.  The board came Q77♠9♠J♣.

Steve Berkowitz was the first to look and turned over the A.

"Come on queen," Berkowitz says. He then turns over the Q much to the surprise of all three players, leaving Berkowitz with two pair, queens and sevens with an ace kicker. 

Next to look was Seunghwan Lee who quickly turned over 9♣5♣ for two pair, nines and sevens.

JeWook Oh is last to look.  He first peels the 10 and says, "Oooooo, straight potential."  But it's the 6♣ he turns over next meaning that Steve Berkowitz is awarded the trophy. 

Congratulations to all three players on a well played match.

Kyle Carey shoves all in for 551,000 from under the gun and Steve Berkowitz calls on the button. Senghwan Lee looks down at his cards in the small blind and announces that he is all in.  He cuts out his 1,200,000 in chips for Berkowitz to see, and Berkowitz pauses.

"The math says I should call here," Berkowitz says. After another minute of thinking, Berkowitz opts to muck.

"Did you have an ace?" Carey asks Berkowitz. He nods yes.

Carey turns over A8 and upon seeing Lee's Q♣Q Carey says, "I am gonna need a flush."
