Mikita Badziakouski Eliminated in 2nd Place (HK $2,165,000)
The first two hands of heads up were both limped pots with Oliver Weis taking down the first and Mikita Badzikouski winning the second.
The fireworks came on the third hand. Sitting on the button Badziakouski popped it up to 170,000 and Weis ran down the shot clock to 3 seconds before re-raising to 480,000 in total.
It was Badziakouski’s turn to tank and he thought about it until there were 2 seconds on the shot clock before announcing the call.
The flop fell 
and Weis took his time once more, running the clock down to a single second before moving all-in for 2,450,000. Badziakouski counted down his stack and looked to be torn between calling or folding but eventually chose the latter and dropped down to 1,260,000 while Weis stacked up to 3,440,000.
The very next hand it was all over; Weis open-shoved from the small blind and Badziakouski peeked at his cards in the big blind, then called.
Mikita Badziakouski: 
Oliver Weis: 
The flop of 
gave Badziakouski further outs to even out the stacks again, but the 
turn and 
river were both blanks to eliminate the Belorussian in 2nd place. Badziakouski takes home HK$2,165,000 (~$278,648) for the runner-up finish and Weis will lift the trophy shortly.
Weis more than doubles his best live result to date and took down his first PokerStars Championship High Roller event for HK$3,130,000 (~$402,849) after already coming close at the Bahamas earlier this year when he finished 4th in a $25,500 High Roller.
