Defending Champion Gets Rivered
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Defending champion Simon Wiciak was all-in and at risk for around 900,000 against Andrew Hulme.
Simon Wiciak: A♥K♣ 
Andrew Hulme: Q♣Q♥
Wiciak took a big lead on the flop of 8♦2♦A♣ and the 4♣ turn didn't change anything. But the dealer then put down the Q♠ river and those at the table groaned as Hulme improved to put a tough beat on the Frenchman.
