$5k NLHE Six-Max – Matt Hawrilenko Wins! 4 months ago

It took just four hands of heads-up to determine a winner in Event 56. In the final hand of the tournament Matt Hawrilenko popped it up to 1 million chips and Josh Brikis responded by announcing he was all-in.

Hawrilenko snap-called and tabled Jh Jd while Brikis showed Ad 9d. The entire audience was on their feet as the dealer prepared to put out the flop.

The flop came 8d 8c 2h and the Hawrilenko contingent of the audience went wild as their man was looking good with just two cards to come.

The turn came 3s and finally the river finished… Tc!

Hawrilenko wins $5k No-Limit Hold’em Six-Max!

The Full Tilt Pro will receive his first WSOP bracelet, $1 million in cash and an interview with PokerListings.com. Some players have all the luck!

Meanwhile Josh Brikis is obviously disappointed to be coming second place but he will have $619,609 to help ease the pain.

Thanks for following our coverage and stay tuned for the Main Event, which begins in just 12 hours.
