At the start of heads up play, FLYINGCBAR held 422,977 chips to 156,023 of deanwinchester9. Deanwinchester9 would double up when he turned aces full against the jacks full of FLYINGCBAR in Omaha 8. This would put them nearly even, with FLYINGCBAR with the advantage. Deanwinchester9 would take the lead the next hand when he hit a straight against FLYINCBAR.

Deanwinchester9 and FLYINCBAR would trade the lead for a while but then during Razz, FLYINGCBAR would put together a string of pots where Deanwinchester9 could not complete his hand. Finally, FLYINGCBAR had him all-in with Deanwinchester9 drawing to a jack and FLYINCBAR drawing to a 10. FLYINGCBAR completed his 10 and Deanwinchester9 finished in 2nd place. He will take home $7,102.40.

FLYINCBAR is the champion of Sunday Night H.O.R.S.E. He wins $10,615 and bragging rights until next weekend.
