Rajat Paliwal Eliminated in 2nd Place ($109,000)

Erick Torres

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Rajat Paliwal went all-in on the button for approximately 5,000,000, and JC Tran quickly called to put Paliwal at risk.

Rajat Paliwal: 9♣9♥ All in
JC Tran: K♠K♣

Paliwal held a strong pocket pair heads-up, but Tran had the goods with pocket kings as he had Paliwal on the ropes with five cards to go.

Paliwal would fall further behind on the Q♠4♠Q♣ flop as Tran held a significant lead.

The 10♥ turn was of no use to Paliwal, and the 7♣ was the final card of the tournament as Paliwal finished in second place.

Paliwal earned $109,000 for his finish.
