Bobby
"Blaster" Payne and Alan Whitmore played
the field of executives and went heads up in a chip
stack war. The heads up match turned when Whitmore
went all in with a Q (Diamond), 4 (Club) suited, that
beat Blaster's A (Spade), 6 (Spade), and placed Blaster
on tilt. The next hand was the last hand, Whitmore
went all in with K (Diamond), 2 (Spade), and Blaster
called with a suited hand, J (Spade), 9 (Spade). The
match was long and ended when the flop came and no
one paired, Whitmore won the last hand with a King
high.
Whitmore
took first place, and Blaster second place.
