Sunny Ali Eliminated in 2nd Place ($69,370)
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
The final hand of the tournament proved to be a doozy.
It began when Sunny Ali opened for 170,000 from the button and Jason Zarlenga raised to 580,000 from the big blind. Ali pushed back with a four-bet to 2 million, and then snap-called off when Zarlenga announced that he was all in.
Ali: 
Zarlenga: 
Both players held pocket pairs, but Ali's was best... that is until the flop came down 
.
"Nice hand, bud," Ali told his opponent. The 
turn meant Ali needed a king and a king only to stay alive, but it wasn't meant to be as the 
completed the board on the river. "Congratulations," Ali offered genuinely before walking around the table to shake hands with Zarlenga, the MSPT's third two-time champ and now all-time money leader.
