After the Day 2 of the Event # 32, the H.O.R.S.E. $ 10,000 buy-in, it stayed 15 survivors on Day 3. Among the finalists, there were many famous names of live poker including Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Dan Kelly, David "Bakes" Baker. The list was also enriched with the qualification of David Bach, Abe Mosseri, Matt Waxman, John Monnette, Paul Sokoloff and many more. But the Day 2 was also marked by the elimination of many players as the No. 1 French Betrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Daniel Negreanu, Jason Mercier, Mike Sexton, Fabrice Soulier, Mike Matusow, Shaun Deeb, Robert Mizrachi or Jennifer Harman. Other players like Eugene Katchalov, Nick Schulman, Owais Ahmed and Joe Tehan said also good bye to the tournament but they were in the ITM. At the start of Day 3, John Monnette was at the head of the 15 survivors of the previous day with 825,000 chips.
After a few hours of play, the bubble bursts and there were only eight players for the final table: Phil Hellmuth, Matt Waxman, Paul Sokoloff, Phil Ivey, David Baker, John Monnette, Abe Mosseri and Dan Kelly who was the shortstack of this final table. John Monnette was still the chipleader until the final table but lost this advantage during the head's up with David "Bakes" Baker. Bakes won the WSOP bracelet and the $ 451,779. John Monnette pocketed $ 279,206 for his runner up place. Phil Hellmuth in search of a 13th bracelet of his career and Phil Ivey were respectively eliminated in the fourth and fifth place. Without a bracelet this time, they left the final table of this poker tournament with respective gains of $ 134,056 and $ 99,739.
