Lucas Rea Eliminated in 2nd Place ($130,500)
Level 38
: Blinds 750,000/1,500,000, 750,000 ante
Lucas Rea limped on the button, making the call after Jared Passanante raised to 4,000,000 in the big blind.
Passanante led out for 8,400,000 on the 5♣9♣4♥ flop, and Rae announced all in for 50,000,000. After confirming the count, Passanante made the call and the hands were turned up.
Lucas Rea: 6♥3♥
Jared Passanante: 9♦8♦
Passanante's pair of nines was in front, looking to dodge Rae's straight draw. The 5♠ paired the board on the turn, while the 3♠ river was a brick.
That left Rae settling for second place, and Passanante claimed the title.
