After a gruelling battle out there, we have out last two competitors vying for the title.

Here's the story of those unlucky players who won't be strapping bracelets to their wrists tonight!

Hellmuth Phils his Boots! (Rossi OUT - 4th)

Hellmuth popped it on the button and the incredibly shortstacked Esther Rossi re-raised all-in from the big blind.

Hellmuth called.

Hellmuth had the advantage, his K 8 marginally ahead of Rossi's J 9 and even though the baord ran out with two hearts on the flop, Helmuth faded Rossi's outs, meaning we lose our last female participant in the competition, Esther Rossi OUT, eliminated in 4th spot, winning $68,505.

Bracelet Number Twelve On Ice! (Hellmuth OUT - 3rd)

It would have been number twelve and his first in a non-holdem competition, but that historic moment will have to wait, as Hellmuth has been busted from the competition, unable to work his shortstack into a winning position.

It happened in the Omaha/8 where Hellmuth called his stack off with the nice looking A K T 5 to Hang's raise with Q Q 4 8.

A board of J 7 5 7 8 came to be, Hang's Queens Up good for the pot, and Hellmuth makes a relatively subdued exit to the applause of his many fans on the rail, out in 3rd place, taking home $93,168.

That leaves Tommy Hang and James Schaff heads up for the bracelet.

With the chip count almost exactly even, both players with almost exactly $1,200,000 who will take it down?

We wait with baited breath to find out!

The attractive bracelet is the shining prize for whoever can come out of the woodwork and take this game by the scruff of the neck.

At the moment the players are fighting tooth and nail to beat each other but so far no one has conceded ground.

As it stands though, Hellmuth is looking unlikely to pick up bracelet number twelve, as he is the shortstack and is appearing to be getting more and more frustrated, at one point throwing his sunglasses down in disgust.

The players have been on a break for much of the last hour but this was the hand that led Hellmuth to almost smash his glasses

Chill Phil!

In Razz, Hellmuth completed with an 8 and called Hang's raise with a 3.

On fourth Hang bet his A and Hellmuth called with a T.

Hang bet his 5 on fifth, and this time Hellmuth almost exploded, throwing away his hand, which was a K.

Bad Luck Phil!

The rails continues to grow, intrigued by how this final will play out. They're enjoying the poker brat's antics and for the sake of the final, let's hope he survives!

Here are the chip counts as we head into the final hurdle.
