Play began with an even 1,000 runners three days ago, duking it out in a series of single-table contests. At the end of three rounds, Carris is the only man left standing, running through his three tables in fine fashion to complete the sweep. The play today was vicious and the battle was hard fought with no shortage of action on the felt. Carris was by no means the betting favorite at this final table today either, with Jason Somerville and Joe Cutler at the head of the class. Still, Carris would prove his mettle, essentially dominating the table from start to finish with very few slip-ups. Credit has to be given to his cheering section as well, a group of more than 25 fans who were amazingly vocal in support of their guy for the entire final table.
For his big win, Jeffrey Carris will take home $313,673 and the all-important shiny gold bracelet. Congratulations to Jeff Carris, Event #22 Champion!

Showdown
Carris:
Margolis:
The crowd above the stage came to life with boisterous calls for an "Ace, ace, ace!" They quieted down a little as the flop was dry, coming
to keep Carris in the lead. They turn was very wet indeed though, as the pleas from the rail were answered with the . Margolis was drawing dead to the 
on the river, and he has been cut down in 3rd place.Margolis showed outstanding perseverance during this event, with both of his previous tables running deep into the night. He would hold the chip lead for a fleeting few moments at one point today, but he was unable to close it out against this stingy competition. Still, the nearly $125,000 he's about to collect should help ease the pain a bit.
Showdown
Moore:
Carris:
Moore shrugged his shoulders, seemingly content with the news that he had two live cards. The flop, however, was about as good as it gets for Carris. It came down
to pair both players but put Carris well ahead with top pair and the flush draw.He would hit that flush on the turn, but the
that fell left Moore with four live outs to the winning full house. Unfortunately for him, the 
on the river was not a king or a jack, and that spells the end of Christopher Moore's day. He will take home more than $80,000 for his three-day effort.
Showdown

Margolis:
The board would run out safe for the all-in Margolis, coming
. The former chip leader has notched a much needed double up and then some. He sits now with 730,000 to Moore's 330,000.
