Following minutes of minimal significant action, there was suddenly a rush of it: Greenwood doubled; Schemion and Vogelsang clashed again; and Justin Bonomo went broke. Read through the live updates for all the nitty gritty.
The hand that cost Bonomo was an absolute cooler. Ali Reza Fatehi, who checked his option in the big blind, flopped a bigger two pair. Action now came at a furious pace and all of the remaining four players — Vogelsang, Fatehi, Schemion and Greenwood — all took over, and lost, the chip lead. After watching the best in the world play exemplary deep-stack poker for the best part of three days, we were then treated to a masterclass in how to play with a short stack.
He may be a recreational player and a businessman, but he had played sublimely throughout the past couple of years, and this podium finish has been in the mail. He flopped a straight, but Vogelsang flopped a straight-flush draw and only went and hit it on the turn. By that point stacks were so short that one false step could prove to be the end, but there was no getting away from that kind of cooler at any stage. Fatehi was left with crumbs after that, and lasted two more hands.
He then rallied back from that to take over the lead on Day 2 too and push to the final. He was sensational there too. Greenwood took the bigger stack into heads up play. His 7.

The final table at the Grand Final If those short-stacks were waiting for hands with which to double up, Chouity had the luxury of waiting for the hands with which to knock them out.
Second in chips at the start of the day, Guerfi rivered top pair with his ace-king, but Chouity had already filled a boat with pocket eights. Mesbah Guerfi: Out first. Roger Hairabedian finished seventh.
The Frenchman never had any more than about eight big blinds, and after folding every hand for the first couple of hours, he had three big blinds left in his stack when he finally put his chips in. Au revoir Roger.
