Going into the final hand Greenwood had right around a two to one chip advantage over Mouritsen. Rene was on the button and made it $120,000. Greenwood called in the big blind and the flop came down J

Event 44 - Final Table - Heads-Up!
1 year ago
We're down to the final two in this event with the elimination of Albert Iversen in third place. Blinds are high and Max Greenwood and Rene Mouritsen haven't showed much fear so we may be in for a quickie.
Read on for new counts, that last elimination and the key heads-up hands so far.
Mano a Mano
Here's a look at the new counts for the final two, courtesy of www.worldseriesofpoker.com.
| Max Greenwood | $3,475,000 |
| Rene Mouritsen | $3,275,000 |
To the Max!
Max Greenwood isn’t making it easy for Rene Mouritsen and the two are near-even after this hand. Mouritsen limped his button and Greenwood checked in the big blind. The flop came down J
9
4
and Greenwood led out for $50,000.
Mouritsen made the call and the turn was the J
. Greenwood bet $50,000 again but this time Mouritsen raised, making it $125,000 total. Greenwood made the call and fired $200,000 on the 4
river.
Mouritsen thought it over for a moment before ditching his hand.
Queens are Good
Rene Mouritsen just picked up a sizeable pot after three-betting before the flop and slowing down on a scary board. Greenwood opened to $110,000 from the button and Mouritsen re-popped to $350,000 from the big blind.
The flop came down A
7
5
and Mouritsen continuation bet $350,000. Greenwood made the call and the turn brought the K
. Both players checked and the river was the A
. Two more checks and Mouritsen shows pocket queens which is enough to earn him the pot.
We’re not 100% but we think Greenwood showed pocket nines as the pot was pushed.
Iversen Alan’d (Third)
Albert Iversen is out in third, a victim of the loose cannon also known as Rene Mouritsen. His final hand began with Iversen raising his button and Mouritsen re-raising from the big blind. Iversen flat-called and the flop came down 8
5
2
.
Mouritsen thought for a moment before moving all-in. Iversen only took a second before calling and the hands were rolled. 5
5
for Iversen needed to hold up against Mouritsen’s drawing A
3
. The turn was the T
, nailing Mouritsen’s flush, and the river was the Q
, failing to fill up Iversen’s full house.
Albert Iversen is out in third place for $267,314.
