After Tim Kegel’s third-place elimination, heads-up chip leader John Dollinger and Sean Shah took an unscheduled break to talk chop. They came to the conclusion they’d play heads up until 5:30pm and if neither had won by then they’d negotiate a deal.

5:30pm never came.

Shah got all-in for 769,000 from the button and was at risk against Dollinger. Shah had the best of it with but needed to hold against the of Dollinger.

The board ran out no help to either player and Shah earned a huge double. Dollinger was left with less than 50,000 chips and busted a few hands later when his couldn’t catch up to Shah’s all-in preflop. Shah’s outright win eared him $11,355 while Dollinger was the tournament’s runner up pocketing $6,563.
