Frank Brannan Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,684,500)
Level 34
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Frank Brannan shoved from the button for 27,400,000 and Samuel Mullur made the call with the bigger stack.
Frank Brannan: Q♣10♣
Samuel Mullur: K♠K♦
Mullur's German/Austrian rail cheered loudly when they saw the cards being revealed.
The flop came K♣8♠8♥ for his rail to erupt in even more cheers as Mullur hit a full house.
Only running cards to a straight flush could help Brannan but the 6♥ on the turn wasn't that, The 3♣ on the river completed the formalities as his rail ran up to the stage to celebrate with him.
Brannan made his way off the stage as he was eliminated in second place for $1,684,500 while Mullur walked away with $2,726,300 and his first WSOP bracelet.
