Soon after Matthew "gitgot" Volosovich would bust in seventh when Mendez flopped a flush on him and he was unable to improve.

Kevin "GoneBananas" Garosshen was next to go in fourth and Scaturro was eliminated in third when Pan’s queen-deuce crushed his ace-nine by flopping two-pair and rivering a full house for good measure.

When heads-up play started, Pan was a 4-1 favorite over Mendez and the exchange was one for the record books as it lasted only one hand before the two got it all in the middle. Unfortunately for Mendez, he was unable to find a double and was eliminated in second place.

8Patrick "Just4Lolz" KennedyUnited Kingdom$22,464

Final Table Action

As there were only eight places paid, the money and final table bubble busted after just under six hours of play when Aram "whatitdew" Oganyan shoved his pocket kings on the flop and was called by Brian "JR_Smith" Hastings and his eight-ten off-suit. Hastings was open-ended on the flop and hit his straight on the river to eliminate Oganyan and put the players in the money. It should be noted that the final table was made up of all former bracelet winners except for Matthew "booyastink" Wantman.

The first casualty on the final table was Patrick "Just4Lolz" Kennedy when he shoved his ace-nine into Pete "PeteChen" Chen’s superior ace-jack. Kennedy could not improve and was therefore eliminated in eighth.

Out in seventh was Yong Keun "LuckySpewy1" Kwon when he pushed the rest of his short stack in with queen-jack but soon found he was up against Saliba with pocket kings. The board put out both a queen and a jack for him, but he was counterfeited as the board was paired on the turn with fours.

Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Hastings was sent to the rail in sixth when he ran his ace-jack into Wantman's ace-king and failed to get there.

Next to go was Dan "BackDoorDan" Smith when he got it all in with ace-ten against Dokler's pocket jacks and was unable to improve so he was out in fifth.

Chen was Dokler's next victim as he got it in with ace-seven but quickly realized he was in bad shape against Dokler's ace-king. The board provided no help for Chen and he was eliminated in fourth.

Three-handed play lasted over an hour before Wantman put his stack in with king-ten against Saliba's ace-five. A five appeared on the board and that was all she wrote for Wantman as he was sent to the rail in third.

Heads-up play lasted only a few hands until Saliba moved all in on the river with pocket tens on an eight-high board and Dokler tank-called with a pair of fives but was no good and was sent out as the runner-up.

Hung "nowitsover" Truong Takes Down Final Event of The Series ($52,675)

It took just under 10 hours for Truong to overcome a 381-player field and claim his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet in Online Event #33: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Fall Finale. Truong defeated Christopher "Basile28" Basile heads-up and took home $52,675 for his efforts.

Final Table Action

The eight-handed final table got off to a hot start when Anthony "heheh" Zinno moved in with pocket kings but ran into the aces for Matt "berkey11_S4Y" Berkey. The board didn’t improve Zinno and he was eliminated in eighth place.

A few hands later, Michael "Bballlind10" Lind picked up king-jack on a jack-high board and moved all in. He was instantly called by Basile with pocket aces, and when the board ran out no extra help for Lind, he was sent to the rail in seventh place.

A short while later, Basile shoved with a bigger stack holding king-nine and was called by Austin "Shady_1" Roberts with pocket queens. The board ran out to give Basile a king-high flush and Roberts was eliminated in sixth place.

After losing a few big pots Berkey became short and moved all in with ace-nine but ran into the pocket queens for Truong. The board didn’t improve Berkey and he exited in fifth place.

Four-handed play only lasted a few minutes before Brian "BaulHardigan" Gates shoved in the small blind with ace-queen but ran into a monster when Basile snap-called with pocket aces. The board flopped a flush draw for Gates but when the turn and river bricked out, Gates was eliminated in fourth place.

Michael "BobMerwald" Bohmerwald was the next casualty when he flopped top pair with queen-jack but was up against a flush draw for Truong with king-nine of spades. When the turn hit the eight of spades it was the end of the road for Bohmerwald as he exited in third place.

Heads-up play started with Truong having an over 3-1 chip lead on Basile and it didn't take long for all the chips to hit the middle. Basile picked up ace-four and moved all in but was snap-called by Truong who held ace-jack. The flop fanned out a jack and the rest of the board was no help for Basile as he was forced to settle with runner-up position. Truong took down the final event of the series and won his first WSOP bracelet with the victory.
