Phil Hui and Lazaro Rodriguez continued to battle, going back-and-forth a while, but with neither player catching much momentum.

Then Hui opened up a more than 2-to-1 chip lead during Stud Hi-Lo.

Hui turned over three spades in the hole for a queen-high flush with no qualifying low. Rodriguez mucked, and Hui won the pot.

Phil Hui  –  1,277,000  (16 BB)
Lazaro Rodriguez  –  9,000  (0.1 BB)

Rodriguez was all in for the ante on the next hand, and won the pot to double up to 19,000. (Even though Rodriguez couldn’t complete the ante, Hui had to put in the full 10K.)

The next hand after that, Rodriguez was all in on 3rd street for what would be the final hand.

Both players had straight draws on 4th street, and Rodriguez picked up a pair on 5th street and two pair on 6th street.

But Hui rivered a ten to win the pot for an ace-high straight, and Rodriguez finished with two pair, jacks and nines. Hui won the pot, the title, and the trophy.

Congratulations to Phil Hui!
