Richard Lyndaker - 2nd Place

Richard Lyndaker moved all in from the button for a little over 1.8 million. Joe Commisso called with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

. Lyndaker held {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

.

Would the best hand hold up this time? Would we have a champion finally?

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and Commisso's rail erupted. Commisso pumped his fist, but needed to sweat the final two cards.

The turn ended it when the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

hit the board. The river was a meaningless {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

and Joe Commisso would be our champion.

It was a marathon battle and Lyndaker would take home just over $570,000 for his efforts.
