Elias Vaaraniemi Eliminated in 2nd Place (€123,550)
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Elias Vaaraniemi jammed from the button for roughly 1,200,000 and Tobias Peters called from the big blind and had his second attempt at winning the tournament.
Elias Vaaraniemi: A♥3♥ 
Tobias Peters: J♦10♥
Vaaraniemi was ahead with ace-high, but Peters had two live cards working for him.
After the 9♦8♣2♦ flop came down, Peters commented, "Good flop," at having picked up a straight draw. Vaaraniemi was drawing dead when the Q♥ fell on the turn as Peters improved to the nuts. An irrelevant 5♦ completed the board to cement Peters' victory in the tournament.
Vaaraniemi exited as the runner-up while Peters went over to celebrate with his friends after having just won his second WSOP bracelet.
