Pedro Garagnani looked him up with the superior pocket tens. Game over for Salas. The final table became a little less shark-infested when the dangerous Juan Pardo Dominguez. Rudolph's Spanish executioner could not put those chips to good use because he was the next player out of the door. Each of the remaining four players locked up a quarter of a million dollars and were only three bust outs away from more than $580,000. The chip stacks were quite even going into heads-up, but Gottlieb won the key hands and soared into the lead. The final hand took place at the 175,000/350,000/45,000a level, and saw Garagnani open-shove for 3,267,450 with queen-jack. Gottlieb woke up with aces, and made the easiest call of his career. Garagnani improved to trips by the river, but Gottlieb's aces turned into a full house. Victory number one was secured.
