After less than an hour of heads-up play Eric Brooks has defeated the awesomely-named Fu Wong. The most important hand saw Brooks make a big call with two-pair to beat Wong, who only showed a couple of kings.

The hand crippled Wong down to the $450,000 and despite grinding it out for several hands Wong finally succumbed to Brooks constant raises.

In the final hand of the tournament Wong got it all-in on fourth street with the board reading:

Brooks: (A)(5)5 3

Wong: (T)(4)A 4

After the players flipped over their cards the board finished:

Brooks: …A 7(Q)

Wong: …2 4(9)

Brooks flush wins him the tournament! The relatively unknown player will be donating the entirety of the $415,856 for first place to charity. Meanwhile Wong will receive $259,910 for finishing second. Congratulations to both players and everyone that played the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship event.

Alexander Kostritsyn, who, along with Alexander Kravchenko forms Russia's Legion of Poker Doom, has been eliminated from the tournament. Kostritsyn was crippled in the giant hand with Eric Brooks and couldn't recover.

In his final hand Kostritsyn got all his chips in on fifth street with the board reading:

Kostritsyn: (K)(4)4 K 3 T(T)

Brooks: (A)(8)7 A 7 T(K)

In the end Brook's two-pair was better than Kostritsyn's two-pair. The good natured Kostritsyn just smiled as he headed for the exit. He will receive $163,372 for coming in third. A disappointing day for the Russian but he can take solace in the fact that he won over $1.5 million by winning the 2008 Aussie Millions.
