Josh "Loofa" Pollock won his second World Series of Poker bracelet after defeating Jason "TheBigGift" Gooch heads up.

The final table action started when Flushtr8ted and Tane. were eliminated in seventh and eighth place. Babycow was the first player to be eliminated at the final table, taking home $21,538.

Then it was HeyGuys (Galfond) who fell short of winning his fourth WSOP gold bracelet by finishing in fifth place. His prize was $29,680, bringing his total WSOP tournament winnings to $2,810,503. He was eliminated by Bleznick, after Bleznick flopped a full house.

Bathroomline (Zamani) hit the rail in fourth place for $41,565. This set the mark as his best-ever WSOP finish. His single-suited queens couldn't connect with the board and he lost to the overpair of TheBigGift.

Jebronlamers1 (Bleznick) finish in third and now has three top-three finishes at WSOP events, but has yet to win a WSOP bracelet. He now has $1,427,746 in career tournament WSOP winnings.

Finally, Gooch fell in second place after Pollock flopped a flush and Gooch was left with no chance to win. This was only the 15th cash for the circuit grinder, but he adds an impressive $85,560.19 to his resume.

Pollock now has two WSOP bracelets, both in Pot-Limit Omaha. He won the 2013 $1,500 PLO for $279,431.
