Event 27 - Lunkin Wins!
1 year ago
Vitaly Lunkin has taken the bracelet and the $628,417 first place prize that comes with it.
Lunkin outclassed Brett Kimes heads up and made a wonderful check on the flop of the final hand of the heads up match to take it down.
It started with Kimes limping, then calling a $600k pre flop bet from Vitaly. The flop came down J
4
2
and both players checked it down.
The turn came the 8
. Lunkin bet $1 million, Kimes shoved and Lunkin called having him covered. It was A
J
for the Russian against Kimes' 8
10
and Kimes needed close to a miracle to survive. The K
river wasn't it and while Kimes takes $387,837 for secondLunkin takes the win.
Check out our exlusive interview with the man over here in a little while.

Event 27 - Heads Up!
1 year ago
We are now heads up and close to crowning a champion thanks to Bobby Firestone's exit in third place. The big money is on the line and PL.com is stoked to see it play out.
Fired! (3rd)
Bobby Firestone was eliminated in third place and will cash $277,026. He got it in on flp with top pair against Vitaly Lunkin's straight draw, but the river completed the draw and Firestone was railed.
Heading into heads up Brett Kimes had a big chip lead, but he just about lost it calling Vitaly's shove on a 5
6
9
flop with just A
6
. Vitaly had flopped the nut straight with 7
8
but two diamonds on fourth and fifth street chopped the pot.
Right now Kimes has $4.5 million to Lunkin's $3.6 million.
