Elan Lepovic Eliminated in 2nd Place ($435,572)
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Brett Lim open-shoved with his four-to-one lead on the button and Elan Lepovic glanced at his cards, then said "I call".
Elan Lepovic: A♥4♦
Brett Lim: A♠J♥
The K♠5♠2♣ flop was a tease with the additional wheel draw for Lipovic, while Lim picked up a gutshot straight draw himself on the 10♥ turn. Neither player improved with the 10♦ river and the kicker played for Lim to end the duel in his favour.
Lepovic came back from being the far shortest stack with four players left but was ultimately denied the maiden WSOP gold bracelet. His runner-up finish comes with a consolation prize of $435,572 while the retired businessman Lim claims the top prize of $653,839.
