Alexandre Vuilleumier limped in on the button and snap-called when Chance Kornuth jammed for 3,050,000 from the big blind.
Chance Kornuth: K♠3♣
Alexandre Vuilleumier: A♦Q♠
The J♦10♣8♦ flop kept Vuilleumier ahead, and then he made a straight on the 9♥ turn. Kornuth had just three outs to improve to a superior straight, but the J♠ river confirmed the victory for Vuilleumier.
Kornuth picked up the $751,463 runners-up prize and was denied his fourth bracelet, while Vuilleumier scored the biggest cash of his career and his first piece of WSOP hardware.
