Michael Addamo raised to 80,000 in the cutoff with A♣9♦ and Wai Kin Yong defended in the big blind holding K♠6♠.

The flop came 7♥7♦2♠ and Yong check-called a bet of 40,000 from Addamo, bringing the 8♥ turn.

Yong checked again and Addamo checked back. On the 6♣ river, Yong led out with a bet of 105,000.

Addamo thought for a moment before flicking in the call and the pot was pushed Yong's way.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ossi Ketola raised to 80,000 in the hijack and Bryn Kenney three-bet to 210,000 in the cutoff. Ketola then moved all in and Kenney called.

Bryn Kenney: Q♦Q♣ All in
Ossi Ketola: K♦K♥

Ketola had woken up with kings and was a big favorite to take the pot as the board ran out 10♠6♥3♣2♣7♣.

The stacks were counted down and Kenney had 780,000 remaining. Ketola had him covered and Kenney was sent to the rail a few spots off the money.

Flashback: Online Qualifier Stanislav Zegal Wins First WSOP Paradise Main Event

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Last year, the first-ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Main Event champion was crowned as Germany's Stanislav Zegal took down the $5,000 buy-in event for $2 million and his first WSOP bracelet. The GGPoker qualifier defeated heads-up opponent Michael Sklenicka of Czechia to wrap up a final day that only lasted four hours.

The inaugural WSOP Paradise Main Event at the five-star Atlantis Resort in The Bahamas drew 3,010 players for a prize pool that climbed above the $15 million guarantee. The field included dozens of online qualifiers, including Zegal, who was able to parlay his online poker prowess into a life-altering seven-figure victory.

“I was so lucky, the cards just fell my way all the time," Zegal told PokerNews. "I think I played well too, but obviously (there’s) tons of luck... This is what you call life-changing money, I guess.”

2	Michael Sklenicka	Czechia	$1,200,000

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Joao Vieira raised to 60,000 under the gun with A♥K♦ and Samuel Mullur defended in the big blind holding J♥8♥.

On the J♣ river, Mullur used a time bank card before firing out a bet of 400,000. Vieira glanced down at his cards and back over at Mullur before tossing his cards into the muck.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fedor Holz raised to 60,000 in the hijack and Dominykas Mikolaitis three-bet shoved on the button for 355,000, putting himself at risk. Holz thought for a moment before making the call.

Dominykas Mikolaitis: A♣7♣ All in
Fedor Holz: K♥Q♣

Holz pulled ahead on the K♦9♦4♦ flop, pairing his king. The J♠ turn and 2♣ river offered no help to Mikolaitis and he was sent to the rail.
