NC Eliminated In 2nd Place (€568,750)

Maxime Taldir

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On the second hand of the heads up, NC limped on the button, then Ka Kwan Lau raised to 1,000,000 from the big blind. "Let's go, all in," said his opponent, pushing his 3,025,000 chips. Lau snap called.

NC: K?8?
Ka Kwan Lau: A?10?

NC's rail asked for a king or a "big fat eight", but an ace landed on the flop A?6?J? to give the winning top pair to Lau. The 3? came on the turn and the 10? on the river to complete the board.

Finishing second of this €10,300 EPT High Roller, NC won €568,750, while Lau was crowned champion.
