Event 6 Champion - Lessin

$1,000 + $90 NL

Jonathan Lessin (Oceanport, NJ)
$87,998

After one hour of heads-up play Jonathan Lessin is able to finish off Michael DeMartino to win the Event 6 title.

Lessin had a 4.3 of the 5 million chips in play when heads-up began, but DeMartino was able to hang around as he doubled-up early with a set of kings. De Martino's luck eventually runs out on the final hand.

DeMartino: 9♣ 7♣
Lessin: 9 8

All the chips are in preflop and the board runs out: K♣ 3 8♠ 10 2♠ to give Lessin the title with a pair of 8s.
