Jamil Wakil Eliminated in 2nd Place ($650,000)
Immediately after Moussa Ahmad asked Jamil Wakil about making a deal and Wakil declined, play continued with Ahmad raising the button to 1,000,000. Wakil three-bet to 4,500,000 from the big blind, and Ahmad made the call.
Wakil fired a continuation-bet of 3,500,000 on the J♦4♣2♣ flop. Ahmad paused for a few moments before telling Wakil, “Alright, let’s finish the game, all in,” and shoved for Wakil’s remaining 14,300,000.
Wakil stood up from his chair, visibly distressed by the decision. Ahmad also got to his feet, and when Wakil asked, “What do you have?”, Ahmad replied, “When you call, you will see.”
After burning through several time banks, Wakil finally made the call.
Jamil Wakil: 10♥10♦
Moussa Ahmad: 8♣3♣
Wakil had come to the right decision with pocket tens and just had to fade a club to take a commanding lead heads-up. Ahmad, on the other hand, was looking for a club to be the GG Million$ champion.
The K♦ on the turn was safe for Wakil, but the 6♣ landed on the river to complete Ahmad’s flush, eliminating Wakil in second place.
Ahmad raised his arms in celebration of claiming the GG Million$ title and $1,000,000 first-place prize.
