Eelis Parssinen Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,043,400)
Level 28
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
On the first hand of heads-up, Johan Guilbert called from the small blind and Eelis Parssinen checked his option. It checked through to the river for the board to read 10♠6♥5♥3♦9♦. Parssinen bet 1,300,000 and Guilbert called.
Parssinen was caught speeding with 8♣2♥ and Guilbert's J♣3♣ took the pot with bottom pair.
On the next deal, Parssinen shoved and Guilbert snap-called.
Eelis Parssinen: K♥9♣
Johan Guilbert: A♦10♣
Parssinen failed to connect on the J♥7♥6♠2♠7♣ runout and Guilbert was confirmed as the winner.
It was the fourth time the Frenchman has reached heads-up in a bracelet event, with the three prior occasions seeing him walk away with the silver medal.
