With two full days of play in the books, the seven combatants on No Gamble, No Future's Cash of the Titans II returned to the PokerGO Studio for the final day of action. At the start of Day 3, Sean Perry was the only player showing a profit and had all but locked up the $200,000 overall bonus prize. After adding the $75,000 bonuses won on Day 1 and 2 to his $434,000 in winnings on the table, Perry began the day already up well over a half million dollars altogether.
Justin Young, Kristen Foxen, Shawn Madden, Mike Volfson, Stanley Choi, and Andrew Robl were all in need of a miraculously hot run on the final day to even have a chance at the remaining bonus prize.
Volfson heats up
After making a good fold on the river in a hand against Perry, Volfson took his shot at a big double up in a hand against Madden. The action kicked off with a raise to $2,200 from Choi with 
and Volfson opted to sneakily flat behind with 
. Young came along with 
before Madden looked down at 
and raised to $10,200. With the action back on him, Choi called the three-bet.
Volfson, eyeing up the dead money in the middle, pounced with an all-in for $68,500 and put his Cash of the Titans II life on the line. Young fled the scene, but Madden's hand was too good to relinquish and he moved all-in over the top to drive Choi out of the pot.
With $151,400 in the middle, the dealer spread the 
flop to vault Volfson into the lead. The 
turn brought additional outs to Madden, but the 
river left his hand second-best and his stack on fumes. Volfson, meanwhile, hauled in a full double up and then some.
Perry finds the right fold
Not long after, Volfson tangled with Perry in a pot that saw him add even more chips to his stack. Foxen started the party this time with a raise to $2,000 with 
, but Perry looked down at 
and bumped it up to $8,000. Volfson cold-called from the big blind with 
. Foxen, meanwhile, fled the scene despite the attractive pot odds and certainly regretted her decision as the dealer spread the 
flop.
After seeing a check from his opponent, Perry continued for $13,000 and Volfson made the call. The turn appeared out of nowhere to improve Volfson's hand in a major way and he checked the action over to Perry once again. Still holding an overpair to the board, Perry bet $40,000 into the $45,200 pot. With about $100,000 more to play for, Volfson moved all-in over the top and Perry took to his feet for a monologue.
"You spiked the jack, right? I'm about to make such a massive fold here," said Perry. "Crazy."
Volfson tried to talk his opponent into a call, but Perry went with his gut and sent his cards back to the dealer. After Volfson let him turn over one of his jacks, Perry celebrated the fold as if he had won the pot.
"I'm a genius. This is why I crush everyone, all the time. God, I'm so good at this game, man."
The final installment of Cash of the Titans II airs exclusively on PokerGO on Wednesday, December 11 at 8:00 pm ET as the finale to No Gamble, No Future Season 5.
