Mosboeck, however, who inevitably fell into a deep hole, would find a doulbe up, but was still down approximately 3-1 in chips. Third place paid the future Poker Hall of Famer $2,806,750.Īt the start of heads-up play, Mosboeck was up nearly 2-1 in chips, but ran into a bad break with A ♦ 5 ♠ on a board of A ♥ 7 ♦ 9 ♠ 5 ♥ K ♠ because his opponent, who earned a full double-up on the hand, had 8 ♣ 6 ♣ for the stone-cold nuts. The board came 10 ♥ 7 ♦ Q ♣ 5 ♠ K ♦, and that was ballgame for the man with the cowboy hat. Smith, who now has over $52 million in cashes on The Hendon Mob, quickly moved all in with A ♥ 4 ♣ against Mosboeck's K ♣ 7 ♣. Would he go on to spin it up? The answer is no. Three-Handed Play Begins Mario Mosboeck had an enthusiastic rail 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.
