James Roullier Eliminated in 2nd Place ($258,690)
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
James Roullier potted to 1,500,000 on the button and Christopher Alcindor called.
On the J♠J♥9♥ flop, Alcindor led and Roullier called all-in for his final 2,500,000.
James Roullier: A♥Q♣10♦7♣2♥
Christopher Alcindor: J♣8♦7♦5♠4♦
Alcindor had flopped trips against the nut flush draw of Roullier. The 3♠ turn changed nothing, and the 9♠ river sealed the deal for Roullier, who will have to settle for second after an amazing run.
