James Mendoza Eliminated in 2nd Place ($450,000)
Level 29
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Stephen Song shoved on the button and James Mendoza called all in for his last 2,500,000 in the big blind.
James Mendoza: K♠Q♦
Stephen Song: J♥3♣
Mendoza was in good shape to double up, and remained that way on the 3♦7♥2♣ flop as well as the 7♦ turn.
However, it turned out to just be Song's day, as the J♦ river paired his jack on the end to eliminate Mendoza and put an end to the tournament in dramatic fashion.
