John Michalak would move all in with {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Joey Couden was more than happy to call with {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Couden was two cards away from securing victory.

The turn was the {2-Hearts} giving Michalak a few more outs. The river, however, was the {7-Diamonds} and Michalak was eliminated in 2nd place for an impressive $36,496 - his best tournament score ever. "I was just tired there at the end," Michalak said.

Couden in the meantime was exuberant. "Let's go baby," he said as the river card was flipped over. He went over to his rail where high fives and hugs were handed out like candy on Halloween. "Whhooooooo!" he yelled, beaming as his friends patted him on the back.
