Wait. This isn't a post about some story between them. It's just that the first part is about Vanessa Selbst and the second part is about n0rthface/Peachy.
Sooo Vanessa Selbst is the winner of event 19, the $1500 Pot-Limit Omaha. She overcame a field of 759 players to win the 1st prize of $227,905. Second place was australian player Jamie Pickering, who received $145,459 for the 2nd place.
It definitely was a weird final table, especially the heads-up. Pickering had drank a bit too much and was kinda happy. At one point during the heads-up he went until the turn without checking his cards. Once he checked he said "oh shit! I'm dead" and gave up his cards. There was even an unscheduled 15min break to calm people down.
Here is the final hand:
limped pot -> flop   
Selbst bets 90,000
Pickering look his cards and goes all-in.

Now let's move a bit to the Event 21, a LPer cashed there.
EVENT #21
 Eric Liu aka n0rthface/Peachy_keen did play the $5000 No Limit Hold'em and he finished in the money. I couldn't really track him well, but it seems like he had finished day 1 below average (21,000 when avg was like 30,000 I think). On day two I could only find these two hands (when he was close to elimination)
| | Eric Liu raised to 20,000 under the gun and Jon Van Fleet made the call. Noah Boeken moved all in for his last 33,000 and Liu called. Van Fleet then moved all in himself, inducing Liu to fold, and Boeken's   needed help against Van Fleet's . The    flop didn't offer much help but the on the turn and  on the river gave Boeken the runner-runner flush and the triple-up. |
and his elimination hand
| | Jacobo Fernandez raised to 22,000 under the gun and Eric Liu moved all in for his last 90,000. Fernandez called and his red eights pipped Liu's black fives . Fernandez hit a set on the  , which he needed because the turn was the  . Liu needed to hit a miracle five on the river to stay alive but it was the that appeared and Liu was eliminated. |
So Eric finished 28th for $16,147. Congratz Peachy!
Event 21 is now on the last day, the final table, and we are surely making a post on that later!
