They both decided not to make a deal so this ended up being a fierce fight to the finish which saw wild swings during the 37 hands of heads up play.

S3XXYMUCK decided to push all in and at that point he shoved in his 207,895,242 and stygher quickly called.
S3XXYMUCK: A♥6♦
stygher: A♠J♣
Both players were holding a coveted ace in heads up play but stygher had the better kicker and the kicker was what gave stygher the title as the flop was 5♦2♥T♥.
Then the turn hit with J♦ which gave stygher a pair of Jacks, and the river showed T♠ which was the final nail in the coffin of S3XXYMUCK as stygher won the hand and the title.
