Lingyu Zen Eliminated in 2nd Place ($158,370)
Level 38
: Blinds 50,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
A hand after his big double up, Derek Childress raised to 3,000,000 on the button, then snap-called after Lingyu Zen shoved for 24,800,000.
Lingyu Zen: 6♥6♣
Derek Childress: A♠Q♣
"Either way, it's a good hand," Childress said as the two opponents were racing yet again.
"I think that's it," Zen added.
"It's not over until it's over," Childress replied.
The flop came A♦9♥7♠ to give Childress the lead with top pair. "Feel a little bit better," he said, but Zen picked up additional outs on the 10♣ turn. The river 3♠ was safe for Childress, and he took down the title.
The two players had agreed to split the money earlier in their heads-up match, and Zen took home $158,370 for his runner-up finish.
