Ben Delaney - 2nd Place

The final hand was the one every poker player dreams about. Saidal Wardak limped in from the button, only to watch Ben Delaney move all in for roughly 250,000. Wardak double-fist-pump-snap-called with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

, leaping out of his seat as he did so. Delaney turned over {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

. He completely whiffed on the flop, {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

. The turn gave a small sweat to Wardak's supporters, as it was the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

to give Delaney a pair of sevens. But at the end, it was all Wardak. The river was the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

to give him a set of aces and finally end this epic struggle.

Delaney was crestfallen, but walks away from the tournament with AU$110,250. That's not a bad check for two days of work.
