Heads up lasted a little over an hour thanks to some serious survival poker played by Omaha Ed Tonnellier. Playing seven stud high/lo Tonnellier was all in for close to ten hands in a row before finally bowing out of the event when his heart flush of K♦ 2♥ K♥ 9♥ 6♥ 7♣ 3♥ was bested by Schneider's full house.
Holding A♣ 4♠ Q♥ A♠ 3♦ A♦ Schneider flashed his final card to the rail birds before seeing for himself that the 4♣ had given him a full house.
Tonnellier will take home $118,456 for second. Along with $214,347 Schneider takes home the bracelet and the prestige of winning a WSOP event with a field of serious challengers. Congrats Tommy!

Annie Duke has been eliminated in third place after knocking heads with Omaha Ed Tonnellier. They were playing Omaha after all and Omaha Ed's A-A-2-3 was enough to send Annie packing.
That means we're heads up. Tom Schneider has about $1 million in chips, a litle less than a $400,000 chip lead over Tonnellier. Omaha Ed should last a little while though, considering the players have stepped out of the Amazon Room for dinner. Stay tuned to PokerListings.com because we'll let you know the minute this year's eight or better champion is crowned. Would you expect any less?

Then There Were Three
Tom Schneider, Edmund Tonellier and Annie Duke are all that remains at the final table. Schneider still is the leader with just a little over one million chips.
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson Eliminated
Ferguson will not be getting his seventh bracelet. Severely short-stacked by an earlier hand against Tom Schneider, Ferguson was forced in and eventually beat by Schneider. "Jesus" will have to just accept the $50,000 for fourth place.
Chris Bell Busts
Chris Bell had to go all-in when he faced calls from Schneider and Ferguson. His two-pair did not hold up and he was eliminated. Bell will earn $39,109 for his efforts.
