Steve Chanthabouasy - 2nd Place

Steve Chanthabouasy raised to 150,000, and James Dempsey made it 450,000. Chanthabouasy four-bet shoved, and Dempsey made the call.

Showdown
Chanthabouasy: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Dempsey: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop gave Chanthabouasy an open-ended straight draw, sending the crowd further into a frenzy. Somehow, the {q-Hearts} turn and {4-Diamonds} river blanked out, bringing this heads-up match to a close. Chanthabouasy battled back from short-stack several times in the last few hours, but after the last break, he couldn't put the brakes on his downward slide and finishes in second place for $121,963.
