Anthony Lellouche Eliminated in 2nd Place ($779,215)

Anthony Lellouche - 2nd Place
Anthony Lellouche - 2nd Place
On just the second hand of heads-up play, a series of preflop raises had Anthony Lellouche all in for his tournament life. The players showed:

Lellouche: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Mercier: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop came down {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}, giving Jason Mercier not only a stranglehold on the hand, but putting him just two cards away from the championship. As is the norm, the turn and river were painfully drawn out, but eventually they came the {8-Clubs} and {2-Clubs} respectively, thus leaving Lellouche the runner-up and crowning Jason Mercier champion. Lellouche will take home $779,215 for his outstanding finish.
