Of course the best thing is how quickly it all happened. It took “Betudontbet” just a few hours to take down the Main Event and a $382,856 prize. It took a little over five hours for there to be three players remaining at the felt, discussing a deal.


However, Didak04 and PCA runner-up Chris “ImDaNuts” Oliver, had left it too late with Betudontbet’s chip lead such that he would be awarded more than first place. The hand after the failed deal discussion, Betudontbet’s Q-2 held against J-8 on a nine-high board.


Oliver, who lost a heads-up battle to Galen Hall in the 2011 PCA, started this time with the chip disadvantage – of roughly 8-1. It too one hand, with Oliver calling it off holding K-7 against A-5. King on the flop, ace on the river: done. Less than six hours.
