Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

On the final hand of the night, Mel Judah opened to 125,000 from the button. Shchmelev called from the big blind. The flop came down {5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Shchmelev checked to Judah who fired 125,000 again. Shchmelev reraised to 350,000. Judah called.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Shchmelev potted it for 950,000. Judah announced all in and Shchmelev called quickly.

Shchmelev: {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Judah: {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{K-Spades}

Judah had flopped trips, but Shchmelev had done him one better and flopped a full house. It looked grim for Judah unless he could river a chop, but the river was the {Q-Spades}, not allowing for that. With that, Judah was eliminated in second place while Shchmelev claimed the first place prize and his first WSOP gold bracelet.
