Level 32
: 150,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
The first hand of heads-up play brought fireworks. Kyle McCague jammed from the button/small blind for effectively 2,900,000 and he was very quickly called by Cristian-Gicu Stanciu for his tournament life from the big blind.
Cristian-Gicu Stanciu: 
Kyle McCague: 
The flop brought 
to give McCague the lead. Stanciu needed an ace on turn or river to survive, but the turn was the 
to lock it up for McCague. The 
river was dealt as a courtesy and Stanciu had to settle for second and £20,095 after the deal.
McCague takes home the trophy and £26,945.
