Hoping to follow in the victory of fellow countryman Aniket “lockstock” Waghmare, at four handed chip leader Anand agreed on a four way deal then played for the coveted gold ring. Shortest stacked Schreiber came from behind, ousting Ireland’s “Divenire” (4th) with 9d9h over Kh2h and Greece’s Georgios Zisimopoulos (3rd) with AhJd over Ks10s to face Anand at heads up. Stacks were fairly even at the start, averaging at 21 BB. For the next half hour, it was a tug of war as the chip lead bounced back and forth. Schreiber finally nailed it shut with Ah6s pair over Ad10c on a board 2d4h6hQsJc. Just missing the final table were India’s “RishV” (10th) and Vietnam’s “Gao1368” (11th). For Australia, Malcolm “HappyWhale” Trayner ran the deepest of 25th place.
