"Good luck," David Dowdy wished Michael Simhai as the pair began heads-up play.

"You too. I'm glad it's you and nobody else at this table" Simhai told him, "seriously."

Just a few hands later, Dowdy moved all in. Simhai knew he had a difficult decision to make. He initially had a big grin on his face, before letting out an exasperated "oh god." He leaned back in his seat, stretching his arms. He knocked over his drink on the table beside him, picked it up, and took a sip. "I gotta get rid of you but I don't want to double you up."

After a brief moment, Simhai made the call.

David Dowdy: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Michael Simhai: {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Simhai was behind, but had an overcard. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, providing no help to Simhai. The {4-Hearts} turn changed nothing as well. Then, the {q-Spades} arrived on the river, pairing the board for a second time, counterfeiting Dowdy's pocket sevens. Simhai's ace kicker played, giving him the pot, and sending Dowdy to the rail in second place, where he'll take home a cash of $148,618.

The two shook hands and embraced following the conclusion of the tournament.
