Would he go on to spin it up? The answer is no. Three-Handed Play Begins Mario Mosboeck had quite a cheering section during the WPT Big One for One Drop final table.Īt the start of three-handed play, it appeared Mosboeck and Badziakouski were destined to soon battle heads-up given Smith was down to just seven big blinds. The board ran out 4 ♦ 2 ♥ 5 ♠ 10 ♥ J ♦ and Haxton was out in fourth place, good for $1,224,800. Haxton, with 2,600,000, went all in with A ♥ Q ♥ against the 8 ♣ 8 ♥ Badziakouski had been dealt. Smith began to fade below the 10-big blind threshold. For quite some time, the match remained four-handed with the same chip leader. Mosboeck made his big move on Haxton in a 3.2 million chip pot that ended in a Haxton river fold. Badziakouski also wasn't too far behind, and Smith, who finished Day 1 and Day 2 with the chip lead, had become the short stack. Haxton held the chip lead at the time, but barely over Mosboeck. But there was still plenty of business to take care of given the jump from fourth to first place was nearly $6 million. The pressure of reaching the money and avoiding a seven-figure loss was gone for the remaining four players.

Nick Petrangelo then finished on the stone bubble in the 17-player super high roller. Santhosh Suvarna, a high-stakes regular who owns a casino in India, busted first at the final table when he lost a race to Mosboeck. The bubble in this type of event is far more stressful than any other tournament as the player who bubbled left down $1 million, and everyone who cashed was guaranteed at least a $224,800 profit.
