Julien Montois Eliminated in 2nd Place ($400,777)
Shawn Daniels limped on the button, and Julien Montois raised it up to 14,000,000 for Daniels to come along.
The flop came 8♦J♠Q♥, Montois bet 12,000,000 for Daniels to call.
The turn was the 4♦, and Montois fired a bet of 25,000,000 out. Daniels confirmed the amount before making the call.
The 4♥ completed the board, and Montois shoved for around 83,000,000. Daniels contemplated it for a bit before putting in a stack of chips for the call. Montois revealed the 10♣3♠ for the missed straight draw for Daniels to jump up and show the K♥Q♠ for two pair, queens and fours.
Montois was eliminated as the runner-up for $400,777 while Daniels got $777,777 and his first WSOP bracelet, to go with his two WSOP Circuit rings.
His rail erupted, some cried, and his dad threw out some expletives in amazement before they hugged.
