Torey Byrne Eliminated in 2nd Place ($6,319)
Torey Byrne raised it up to 3,000,000 on the button and then instantly called all-in when Atsushi Koyama moved all-in from the big blind.
Torey Byrne: Q♦Q♥ 
Atsushi Koyama: A♠10♦
Lady luck had been shining on Byrne for the entire day when she needed it and now she had the chance to claim the vast majority of the chips in play. However, fate would have it that Koyama pulled ahead with the A♣K♦8♦ flop. The 10♥ turn gave Byrne some more outs with the gutshot but the 8♣ river was a blank.
Both stacks were briefly counted and the 24 big blinds of Byrne were covered.
"It was so nice playing with you, congratulations," she told Koyama when they shook hands.
This concludes a roller coaster ride of Byrne on her "luckiest day" ever at the poker tables just shy of victory, and she takes second place for $6,319. Koyama is the champion for $10,000 and the custom made RunGood Passport Champion Ring as well as the JOPT Grand Final trophy.
Stay tuned for a recap of today's action.
