David Kaufmann Eliminated in 2nd Place (�804,750)
The first hand of the heads up, Barny Boatman raised his button to 1,250,000 with 7?3? and David Kaufmann called in the big blind with 8?3?. Boatman continued for 1,150,000 on the J?A?4? flop and a quick check-fold followed from his opponent.
On the next hand, Kaufmann raised to 1,850,000 on the button and Barny Boatman three-bet to 2,850,000 in the big blind. Kaufmann made the call and the 9?J?6? flop appeared on the table.
Boatman bet 2,000,000 and Kaufmann made the call. Boatman then shoved all in on the 5? turn, covering Kaufmann's stack of 11,175,000.
Kaufmann spent some time pondering his decision but eventually made the call and the cards were flipped over.
David Kaufmann: A?9?
Barny Boatman: J?2?
Boatman's top pair was in great shape to knock out Kaufmann and secure his first EPT Main Event victory. The Q? river could not upgrade Kaufmann's second pair and he had to console himself with ending as runner-up at the 2024 EPT Paris Main Event.
