: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Joe McKeehen raised to 450,000 from the button and Matthew Sesso three-bet to 1,400,000. McKeehen responded with a shove and Sesso snap-called with a similar stack.

The board ran out 
for Sesso to hold with the higher pocket pair for the higher full house.
Both stacks were counted, Sesso had 7,285,000 while McKeehen had 7,220,000 behind for Sesso to have him narrowly covered to send the 2015 WSOP Main Event Champion to the payout desk to collect $115,698 for finishing in 2nd place.
Sesso scores his biggest live cash ever for $189,965 after three days of play. A full recap of today's action is to follow.
