After almost 12 hours of play, DUDDUHDAISY walked away $116,710 richer for finishing in top spot. The UBOC5 Event #8 kicked off on Sunday, August 22nd at 16:00 ET, and came down to the final hand at about 03:50a ET this morning. TIFFANY MICHELLE and MATT GRAHAM were the only Team UB pros to make it into the money with their 26th ($3,206.50) and 57th ($1,749) place showing respectively. Michelle, Graham and 64 others all walked away with more money than they started with, but when it came down to the final table, it was chip leader DANNYILLS, UPAY4RHINOS, LOCKDOWNTEX, POOLI, DUHDUHDAISY, and JOAOMATHIAS who remained in contention to battle it out for the big bucks. POOLI was first to hit the skids, finishing in 6th place for $26,235, followed by LOCKDOWNTEX IN 5th ($32,065), JOAOMATHIAS in 4th ($37,895) and UPAY4RHINOS having to settle for $54,219 for his 3rd place run in the event. When it came down to DANNYILLS and DUHDUHDAISY heads up, the final two paused play to make a deal, with the chip chop showing $106,710 for DUHDUHDIASY and $99,000 for DANNYILLS, with the remaining $10,000 set aside for the eventual winner and play resumed. The match-up finished with DUHDUHDAISY holding Kh-Ad to DANNYILLS Qh-10d. The Flop came 8h-3c-4h, and the Turn card Qc connected with DANNYILLS, but the Ah on the River secured victory for DUHDUHDAISY, along with the $10,000 side pot, swelling his first prize payout to $116,710.
