Memorable hand:
After more than a hour of back-and-forth heads-up play, former professional soccer player Sorenson finally put the ball in the net against Sexton. The Dane started with a pair of nines (one was showing, one was hidden) and ended up with a full house, nines over sevens, good enough to trump the face-down kings that Sexton started out with but couldn’t improve upon.

Other noteworthy finishers were Tony Cousineau in 10th place and Diavid Colclough in 12th place.
