In the first hand of heads-up play, Chris Da-Silva limped for 15,000, Sebastian Toro Henao raised from the big blind to 60,000, and Da-Silva called.

The flop came 9s6h5s, Henao bet 40,000, and Da-Silva called.

The turn card was the Kh, Henao bet 125,000, and Da-Silva tanked for a while before he called.

The river card paired the board with the 6c, and Henao tanked for a long time before he moved all in for 570,000. Da-Silva asked for an exact count and thought for a while before he called with Js9h for two pair, nines and sixes.

But Henao turned over Ks6d to win the pot with a full house, sixes full of kings, and double up in chips. Henao takes the lead, and it’s the first time at this final table that Da-Silva isn’t the chipleader.

Sebastian Toro Henao  –  1,605,000  (107 bb)
Chris Da-Silva  –  1,245,000  (83 bb)

Sebastian Toro Henao limped from the button for 15,000, which was unusual for this final table. Chris Da-Silva seemed suspicious and folded his small blind, and Max Stevens said he wasn’t going to fall for the trick and just checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came out, Stevens checked, Henao bet, and Stevens folded. Henao took the pot.

The next hand, Da-Silva limped from the button for 15,000, Stevens completed the small blind, and Henao checked his option in the big blind.

“It’s a whole new world at this final table,” said Stevens.

All three players checked to the turn on a board of 9h8c4h4c, and Stevens bet 20,000. Henao and Da-Silva both called.

The river card tripped the board with the 4d, and it checked to Da-Silva, who bet 210,000. Stevens thought for a while before he called, and Henao quickly folded.

Da-Silva turned over Kd4s for the nuts — quad fours — and Stevens mucked.

Seat 1.  Sebastian Toro Henao  –  770,000  (51 bb)
Seat 2.  Chris Da-Silva  –  1,775,000  (118 bb)

The board came Kc9c7c4sQd — Da-Silva flopped a pair of kings to Ludlow’s jack-high flush draw, but no more clubs appeared. Da-Silva won the pot with his pair of kings to eliminate Ludlow in fourth place.
