Level 24:  30,000/60,000 Limits
Players Remaining:  1 of 105

The final hand took place during a round of Stud 8.

Chris Tryba:    
Selim Oulmekki:    

On fifth street, Tryba bet 60,000 with his pair of eights, Oulmekki raised to 120,000 with his pair of fives, and Tryba called.

On sixth street, Oulmekki got it all in for his last 30,000, and they turned over their hole cards:

Chris Tryba:      (pair of eights, 8-6 low draw)
Selim Oulmekki:      (two pair, fives and deuces)

Oulmekki needed his two pair to hold to stay alive, though Tryba still had a shot at a low if he couldn’t win the high side.

The dealer dealt seventh street:

Chris Tryba:        (two pair, nines and eights)
Selim Oulmekki:        (two pair, fives and deuces)

Chris Tryba rivered a higher two pair to win the pot, the trophy, and the title, and Selim Oulmekki finished as the runner-up.
