James Carroll Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,012,320)
Level 43
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Hand #59: Jesse Yaginuma shoved from the button, and James Carroll called off his stack of 41,400,000 from the big blind.
James Carroll: A♣10♣
Jesse Yaginuma: Q♠3♦
Carroll was ahead and was looking at a potential double-up and a possible comeback. Things were looking good when the dealer flopped 4♦J♠4♥, maintaining Carroll's lead. The turn Q♥ fell, however, pushing Yaginuma to the front. Carroll still had outs with his ace, but the river 5♥ fell, ending his tournament life with a runner-up finish.
