That hand gave KristapsK3 a dominating lead when heads-up play began (about 80,000 chips to _Sandm4n_'s 28,000), and the end came quickly, just 11 hands into heads-up action. _Sandm4n_'s 7c 5c proved no match for KristapsK3's Qc 10d on a 10s 8s 5h flop, with a 9d on the turn and the Qd on the river giving the hand and the victory to KristapsK3, along with the $17,500 prize package for 1st. _Sandm4n_ had to settle for 2nd, worth $586 plus a ticket to a future online finals.
