Greg Merson Eliminated in 2nd Place ($948,996)
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
After a short heads-up battle the title belongs to Jake Schindler! After Greg Merson had moved all in four consecutive times, and getting four walks in a row, both players decided to go all in blind.
"I don't play poker to collect trophies," Merson had said just before this happened and the final showdown went as following.
Merson: 
Schindler: 
The board ran out 
and Merson, who had about a million less than his opponent, was knocked out. Schindler took down the tournament and Merson congratulated his opponent before walking to the payout desk.
