2 Months, $2 Million: Last chance for the team

The last episode of the 2 Months, $2 Million poker show saw the four pros making a valiant effort to reach the $2 million goal but with even the Mother Nature against them, the team had a tough task ahead of them.

Emil Patel, Dani Stern, Brian Roberts and Jay Rosenkrantz believed they could earn $2 million in two months, but they fell short of their goal, as they made a relatively humble profit of $676,700.

While most people would find such a sum more than worth celebrating, the four pros were not that pleased with their performance over the course of the summer.

Storm halts Patel's winning spree

The final episode of the show began with just three days remaining and the team was up by $615,900, still far away from their $2 million goal. Emil Patel got down to business right away, winning pots against "jiacstrap" on PokerStars but then the action came to halt as a storm was raging outside which caused the power in Las Vegas to go out.

To make Patel's troubles complete, his computer froze when the power and internet came back on. Despite all of this, Patel ended the last episode of the show with a profit of $34,800. Patel was also one of the most consistent players throughout the show, recording only two losing weeks along the way.

Meanwhile Dani Stern was the weakest point of the team in the early stages of the show, but he managed to turn things around as the weeks progressed and in the final episode, his efforts were crowned with a profit of $101,000.

LarsLuzak crushes Roberts

Jay Rosenkrantz ended the last episode break even but his overall performance in the show was by far the best, as his total profit was $406,600. Most of his profit came from David "Viffer" Peat in the 8th episode.

Brian Roberts ended the show with a modest overall profit of $7,500 which could've been a lot better had he not faced Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro (pictured right) in the final episode. Roberts lost one hand after another to Larsluzak and he soon found himself down by $93,000 to the Finnish pro.

With the first season of the "2 Months, $2 Million" show over, it remains uncertain whether the four pros will return for a second season. For now, only rumours are circulating that the team will return to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker in 2010.

Here are the overall winnings of the four pros and their total profit for the two months spent on the show:

Name	Winnings
Jay Rosenkrantz	$406,500
Emil Patel	$161,900
Dani Stern	$100,800
Brian Roberts	$7,500
Overall total	$676,700
