Thomas Kysar Eliminated in 2nd Place ($248,502)
Nível 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Diego Ventura had been chopping away at Thomas Kysar by continuing to put pressure on his stack throughout the last few hands of heads-up play, via repeatedly moving all-in from the button.
Ventura would do so again in the final hand, but this time Kysar made the call for his remaining 4,300,000 chips.
Thomas Kysar: K♦2♦
Diego Ventura: A♠8♦
In a bit of a roller coaster runout, Kysar flopped a pair of deuces on J♦5♣2♣ to take the lead.
The board would pair on the J♣ turn, opening up additional avenues to victory for Ventura.
One of those avenues would materialize on the 5♥ river, giving both players jacks and fives, but Ventura’s ace kicker would top the king kicker of Kysar and eliminate him in second place.
