Salvatore Dicarlo Eliminated in 2nd Place ($900,000)
Level 46
: Blinds 4,000,000/8,000,000, 8,000,000 ante
Salvatore Dicarlo open-shoved for 153,000,000. Alsup pondered his options, before eventually calling it off for the bracelet.
Salvatore Dicarlo: A♠K♣
Richard Alsup: A♣7♥
Dicarlo had picked up big slick yet again, with it not having let him down yet today. He'd knocked out Pierce Mckellar in this exact match-up earlier on in the day, and he seemed set to triumph again, until disaster struck on the 3♦J♣7♣ flop.
Alsup shot into the lead, much to the delight of his rail, and he was just one card away from seven figures when the turn 5♠ hit the felt. For the first time all day, Dicarlo was let down by big slick, as the 8♥ eliminated him heads-up, with Alsup claiming WSOP glory for the second time.
