Final Table Recap – Key Hands and Eliminations
The final table began with Moshe Gavrieli as the chip leader, holding 46 big bets, while Bohlman followed closely with 38. Andrew Bradshaw, on the other hand, was the shortest stack with just 6 big bets and was the first to exit after losing a key hand with Q♠10♥ against Gavrieli’s A♥9♠.
Kerry Welsh was the next to fall when his pocket sevens ran into Ian Pelz’s flopped set of eights, which later improved to quads. Pelz continued his hot streak by eliminating Simeon Tsonev, who shoved with A♣8♦ only to run into Pelz’s trips.
Nicholas Tsoukalas went out in fourth place after a massive clash with Gavrieli, who turned a set of aces to dominate Tsoukalas’ Q♥10♣. Ian Pelz followed in third, unable to improve in a three-way hand that was checked down to the river, where Gavrieli’s J♦6♠ held up.
In the final hand, Bohlman held top pair with Q♣J♦ but was overtaken by Gavrieli’s flush draw, which completed on the turn with the A♣. The river bricked, and Gavrieli claimed the bracelet and the title.
