Event 20: Champion - Gordon Eng

$1500 + $150 NL

The blinds went up to 15k/30k with 4k antes. Play continued.

It was apparent that these two final players were getting tired. They were having trouble counting out their chips and had resorted to announcing the amounts of bets and raises to make sure they got it right. After playing 15 hours yesterday and eleven hours today, their weariness was understandable.

The last hand came with a board of A 9 6 J J. They got all the chips in the middle on the river and Gordon Eng showed AQ. Alan Sternberg mucked his hand, accepting defeat and second place (and $40,071).

Gordon Eng emerged victorious, earning $70,599 for first place.

Gordon Eng - 1st place

Alan Sternberg - 2nd place
