Ran Ilani Eliminated in 2nd Place ($553,692)
Level 38
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Ran Ilani limped on the button with about 18,500,000 and Yilong Wang moved all in from the big blind to put Ilani at risk. Ilani snap called and quickly saw that he was a big favorite to double up.
Ran Ilani: 9♦9♥
Yilong Wang: 6♠6♣
The flop came 4♠10♦6♦ with Wang drilling a six to improve to a set, but Ilani still had outs with a nine or runner-runner for backdoor straight and flush draws.
The turn landed the 10♣, meaning only a nine or a ten would save Ilani, but the river fell the K♥, ending his impressive tournament run.
