Stanislav Koleno Eliminated in 2nd Place (€154,650)
Level 38
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Stanislav Koleno made it 3,800,000 from the button, and Yuhan Wang instantly jammed to put Koleno all in for 32,700,000 out of the big blind. Koleno didn't hesitate to make the call.
Stanislav Koleno: A♣6♣
Yuhan Wang: A♦8♥
Both players had ace-high, but Wang's kicker had him as the favorite with five cards to come, and the chance to win the bracelet.
The dealer fanned out a flop of 3♥7♠J♥, keeping Wang in the lead. A Q♠ rolled off on the turn, and Wang was one card away from being crowned as the champion. The dealer burned a card, then peeled off the 10♠ on the river.
Wang's ace-eight high held up to win him the Mini Main Event, and Koleno had to settle for a runner-up finish.
