Two years ago at the Golden Nugget, Thomas Nefcy won the title, defeating Kourtney Simms heads up for $37,115.
Today in the final flight, both of them are seated at the same table. A feeling of déjà vu seeing both of these BPO regulars at the same table.

A player raised to 3,100 early position which saw another player three-bet to 8,500 in middle position and only Dave Mock called from the hijack.
The board ran out and action checked to the river where the middle position player bet 10,800, roughly half of his stack.
Mock immediately moved all in and the middle position player mucked what he said was a pair of kings.
Mock turned over as he raked in the pot.
