Taylor Douglas open-shoved a number of times to steal the blinds and antes from Chandrasekhar Bellavara before finally going to the well once too often and being caught with Q 9 to Bellavara's A 7. The board went J 6 2 A J which was enough for Bellavara to win the bracelet and $722,914 in cold, hard cash.

For second place, Taylor Douglas earns $467,101. Congratulations to both finalists and boo-urns to Harrah's, who played down another final table behind the shroud!

Greg Mueller raises out of the cut-off and Ray Spencer and Taylor Douglas make the call in the blinds. The flop comes 6 4 4 and Spencer checks to Douglas, who bets out $210,000.

The board finishes out 7 9 and Mueller has been eliminated in eighth place. He'll take home $55,914 for another final table finish.
