Richard Ali Eliminated in 2nd Place ($432,090)

Level 43 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

Lukas Zaskodny raised to 7,000,000, and Richard Ali responded with an all-in for 101,400,000. Zaskodny asked for a count, then made the call.

Richard Ali: AK All in
Lukas Zaskodny: A10

Ali had Zaskodny dominated, and his rails were shouting for his cards to hold. The flop came 35Q and the shouting continued.

The turn Q didn't help Zaskodny, but the river 10 changed everything when Zaskodny spiked a pair to eliminate Ali for the championship. Ali finished in second place.
