We Are Heads Up

End of the Road for Haynie, 4th Place ($25,839)

Derric Haynie had chips to play with but got it all in for 143,000, and after taking a few minutes to think over his decision, Mike Wattel called.

Haynie decided his hand was strong enough to stay pat — 9-8-6-5-3. Unfortunately for him, Wattel had made the right choice to call, staying pat and tabling 8-6-4-3-2.

Haynie was eliminated in 4th place and Wattel increased his stack to around 450,000 in chips.

Binger Falls Short of Heads Up, Out in 3rd ($37,857)

Nick Binger moved all in one hand after Haynie was eliminated and was called by the man who did Haynie in, Mike Wattel. Binger drew two and Wattel drew one. Their hands:

Wattel: 9-6-5-2… drew a 10
Binger: 7-3-2… drew a 6… and a Q.

Binger busted in 3rd and the final table was down to two. Wattell and Yan Chen remain, both with around half a million in chips.
