Valerie Hanley Eliminated in 2nd Place ($3,420)
It took 26 hands of heads-up play, but the match between Valerie Hanley and Roy Peters has come to an end. Falling in second place was Hanley, earning $3,420 for her efforts. That gave the $5,885 top prize to Peters, plus he earned the $565 Main Event seat as the last Run It Up! warrior standing.
On the final hand, Peters moved all in from the button. Hanley called with the 
to put herself at risk for a little over 400,000. Peters was the 
and was looking for the best hand to hold up.
The 
flop gave Peters a pair of eights and kept him in front. The 
on the turn left Hanley needing a jack and a jack only on the river, but she couldn't find it when the 
hit the felt.
With that, the tournament has come to an end and Peters was awarded the trophy.
