11/20/12 - Rupa Patel

26 players to start the final game of the season. By the break we were down to 18. The final table consisted of Michael Lam, Jeanine Anderson, Ariel Levy, Michael Gifford, Joesph Deveraux, Kirk Charles, Claw Kelsay and Rupa Patel. Claw Kelsay flopped a straight and Kirk Charles went all in with an open ended straight draw that stayed an open ended straight draw. This put Claw heads up against Rupa, who had taken second in the first game. They played back forth until the blinds were 5000/10,000. Finally, Claw goes all in with fours and is called by Rupa with ace five suited. She gets the flush and wins the tournament. Since Rupa had already qualifed and so had the top five, Ariel Levy qualifies for the championship.
