Joao Simao Eliminated in 2nd Place ($2,517,090)*
Level 22
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
In what would be the final hand of the tournament, Nick Petrangelo shoved blind and Joao Simao called all in blind.
Joao Simao: 8♠5♠
Nick Petrangelo: A♠9♣
Petrangelo was looking to make it three-for-three, and did just that after the 6♥Q♥10♠8♦A♥ runout paired his ace on the river — eliminating Simao in second place for the win.
