Marlon Goonawardana - 2nd Place

There's no cap in the limit hold'em round when action is heads up. Marlon Goonawardana and Adam Peck took advantage of that. Peck raised first to 32,000; Goonawardana made it 48,000; Peck went to 64,000; Goonawardana to 80,000; and Peck to 96,000. All preflop.

Goonawardana seemed to suddenly realize that he was in trouble. He asked the dealer to confirm how much he was already in for, then just agreed with Peck to get the rest in preflop. "I'm already committed," he said.

Goonawardana: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

Peck:

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

Peck paired his king on the flop, {7-Diamonds}

and

to send Goonawardana to the rail. He collect AU$18,430 for his second place finish.
