Tim Finne Eliminated in 2nd Place ($107,243); Benjamin Dobson Wins!

Level 32 : 120,000/240,000, 30,000 ante
Tim Finne - 2nd Place
Tim Finne - 2nd Place

Tim Finne had the bring-in and Benjamin Dobson completed to 120,000 on the first hand of the new level.

Finne made it two bets to go, and Dobson called the 240,000 total. On fourth, Finne led out, Dobson announced a raise, and Finne was all in for his 315,000 total with Dobson making the call.

Finne: {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Dobson: {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} / {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

"I have blockers!" announced Finne.

Dobson found the {2-Hearts} on fifth to give him a near-lock on the hand as Finne found the {4-Hearts}.

For Finne, he would need to go runner-runner to get any of the pot back, and when he found the {10-Clubs} on sixth he would be drawing dead as Dobson caught the {3-Diamonds}.

Seventh street saw Finne find the {8-Clubs}, and Dobson the {5-Hearts}, and with that, Finne collected $107,243 for his 2nd place finish while Dobson was crowned the Event #25 Champion!
