We're down to heads-up play at the final table of the $2,000 No Limit Hold'em tournament after an insane series of eliminations punctuated by a disastrous freefall from PokerListings.com fave Alan Cutler, who was victimized by a pair of back-to-back beats of a sickening nature.

Here's now the last hour panned out in the Amazon Room (note: if you have any doubt that these low-level donkaments are crapshoots that reward luckboxes over skill, read on):

Dances With Dunzo: Costner Crashes (8th)

A short-stacked Gabe Costner gets all-in preflop against Robert Brewer, who turns up A T to Costner's A 9. The board comes K 8 6 8 5 and the ten plays, sending Costner to the rail in eight place. He'll take $103,315 for his time.

Sundbo Dunbo (7th)

Pants on fire!

Ryan D'Angelo raises to $120,000 and Sverre Sundbo moves all-in over the top for $940,000. D'Angelo makes a quick call and turns up A Q, while Sundbo is exposed as a liar with Q 6. The board comes A 5 4 T 5 and D'Angelo takes the pot with a pair of aces. Sundbo is eliminated in seventh place and earns $134,942 for his time.

Gerasimov Greened (6th)

Kirill Gerasimov gets all-in preflop against Ryan D'Angelo with J J to D'Angelo's A Q. The board comes 6 5 5 7 A and D'Angelo rivers a pair of aces to send Gerasimov packing in sixth place. He'll earn $177,111 for his efforts.

The Fall of Alan Cutler (5th)

This is the sickest thing we've seen all week.

Alan Cutler is second in chips and makes a raise from the cut-off to $180,000. Alexandre Gome moves all-in over the top for his last $800,000 and Cutler makes the call, turning up A Q to Gomes' 7 6. The flop comes A Q J and that's where the sickness starts.

Gomes needs runner-runner to stay alive and is drawing extremely slim. The turn, however, is the 6 and Gomes is halfway there. The river is an incredible 6 and the Brazilian crowd roars as Gomes hits runner-runner to make trip sixes and double up.

On the very next hand, Cutler gets all-in preflop against Marco Johnson, who turns up a pocket pair of fives to Cutler's Q Q. The flop comes J 5 2 and Johnson flops a set of fives. Cutler has a flush draw, but the turn and river go 6 K and Cutler is eliminated in a disgusting turn of events. He's out in fifth place and will take $223,497 for his efforts, and hopefully has some friends to hide the sharp objects back home in Illinois.

Brewer Distilled (4th)

So, so sick. 

Ryan D'Angelo and Robert Brewer see a flop come K 8 5. Brewer bets out $325,000 and D'Angelo flat-calls. The turn is the 4 and D'Angelo checks to Brewer, who moves all-in D'Angelo snap calls, turning up a pocket pair of kings for top set while Brewer is behind with T 7 and needs a heart to survive.

The river is the 7 and Brewer can't get there. He's out in fourth place and earns $274,101 for his time.

D'Angelo Hall'd (3rd)

Ryan D'Angelo raises to $150,000 and Alexandre Gomes moves all-in for his last $3.5 million D'Angelo calls off his last $2.8 million with A Q and is racing against Gomes' pocket nines. The board comes 9 8 7 5 3 and Gomes takes the pot with a set of nines.

Ryan D'Angelo is eliminated in third place and earns $326,812.

Heads-Up!

We're now heads-up between Alexandre Gomes and Marco Johnson, with Gomes holding a $6.7 million to $2.55 million lead over his rival. Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion!

After Dan Rome's elimination in the $2,000 No Limit Hold'em final table the action has slowed considerably, with flops in the minority and most of the pots falling to a single raiser.

About the only thing that has gone on in the last hour is a hand between Ryan D'Angelo and Gabe Costner in which both players saw a flop come 7 6 2. Costner checked from the big blind and D'Angelo bet out $80,000. Costner made the call and the the turn was the Q. Both players checked and the river was the K.

Again Costner checked and D'Angelo bet out $200,000. Costner mulled his options before making the call and turning up K-6 for two pair. D'Angelo had T 9 for the flopped flush and it was good to take the pot.
