Alexandros Kolonias Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,000,991)
Level 44
: 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante
The action started with a button min-raise to 1.6 million by Alexandros Kolonias and Ben Ward three-bet to 5.2 million. Back on Kolonias, he moved in for 30.2 million and Ward called with the superior stack.
Alexandros Kolonias: 
Ben Ward: 
It was a flip that would leave Ward with 36.5 million in chips if he were to lose, still plenty of big blinds. However, the 
flop vaulted the Brit into the lead and he remained there throughout the 
turn and 
river.
Kolonias' bid for another major title ended with a runner-up finish, sweetened by the $1,000,991 consolation prize. Ward collects the far biggest single prize of the entire festival worth $1,242,332.
