		Gryzly Has an Unbearably Good Sunday Sunday’s WSOP online finals at PokerRoom punched yet another player’s ticket to Las Vegas for the 2008 Main Event, with the winner taking down a $17,500 prrize package that includes entry fee, airfare, hotel, and an amazingly good time while at the event. 37 players entered Sunday’s finals, with Unten Ohne holding the chip lead at the first break. Gutenburg1 (who finished 2nd in the finals the day before) was the leader at the 2nd break, and was still in the hunt when the field was narrowed down to five players: Seat 1: Gryzly ($33,805 in chips) Seat 2: Doggyattore ($27,635 in chips) Seat 3: Gutenburg1 ($18,775 in chips) Seat 4: Alain1304KAP ($19,130 in chips) Seat 10: tygrr ($11,655 in chips) Unlike many of the faster-paced finals, this one not only saw a 3rd break, but those same five players were still all alive. Alain1304KAP would finally bow out in 5th place, with Gutenburg1 finishing in 4th. Seat 1: Gryzly ($51,855 in chips) Seat 2: Doggyattore ($28,835 in chips) Seat 10: tygrr ($30,310 in chips) Doggyattore’s day came to a disappointing and unfortunate end in 3rd place, as he got all his chips in pre-flop with Ah Kc and had to be overjoyed to see Gryzly turn over Ad Qc; happy until the board rolled out 10d Jh 8h 9d 7d, giving Gryzly and his dominated hand a straight to take down a big pot and assume a big lead in heads-up action: Seat 1: Gryzly ($82,690 in chips) Seat 10: tygrr ($28,310 in chips) The battle of animals came to a quick end in just 6 hands, with bears proving mightier than tigers, when all of the chips found their way into the middle pre-flop, with Gryzly holding 10d 10h and tygrr As Qs. The board didn’t improve either player’s hand, with Gryzly’s pocket tens holding up to give him the victory and the $17,500 prize package, with tygrr settling for $586 + a finals ticket for his 2nd place finish.
