Scott Fischman, who won this event a year ago, finishes in second place, earning $325,125. Here is the complete list of final-table finishers:
1st- Allen Cunningham $725,405
2nd- Scott Fischman $352,125
3rd- David "Devilfish" Ulliott $232,205
4th- Can Kim Hua $200,395
5th- Liz Lieu $168,590
6th- Charles Huff $136,780
7th- An Tran $104,970

9th- Richard Boutwell $54,075
Hand 114 - There is a dead button in seat 8, Cunningham raises to $75,000, Ulliott pushes all in, and Cunningham calls. Ulliott shows pocket eights (8c-8h), and Cunningham shows pocket sixes (6d-6s). The flop comes Jc-Jd-7c, and Cunningham will have to catch a six to eliminate Ulliott. The turn card is the 9c, the river card is the 2c, and David "Devilfish" Ulliott doubles up through chip leader Allen Cunningham.
Hand 115 - Fischman has the button in seat 2, Hua raises to $105,000, and Cunningham calls. The flop comes Qh-Js-9c, Cunningham checks, Hua pushes all in, and Cunningham immediately calls with Qc-10c (top pair, open-ended straight draw). Hua is in trouble with Kd-Jd (second pair, gut-shot straight draw), as he'll need to catch a jack or a ten to stay alive. The turn card is the 2d, the river card is the 9d, and Can Kim Hua is eliminated in fourth place, earning $200,395.
Here are the updated chip counts after the elimination of Can Kim Hua:
1. Allen Cunningham - $1,945,000 (seat 4)
2. David "Devilfish" Ulliott - $845,000 (seat 3)
3. Scott Fischman - $680,000 (seat 2)
