    Hand #149 - Ben Ponzio Wins Event #25 ($599,467)

    Hand #149 - Ben Ponzio has the button, he raises 250,000 more, Hewitt moves all in, and Ponzio immediately calls with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Hewitt shows {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

    The board comes {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, and Ponzio wins the hand -- and the bracelet -- with king high.

    David Hewitt is eliminated in second place, earning $374,216.
