Mika Paasonen Eliminated in 2nd Place ($326,203)

[user76079]

We were starting to wonder whether this titanic duel would ever end but it has. A raise from Paasonen was called before {3-Clubs}

flop came down. Guillen led out for 250,000 before Paasonen moved all in and received an instant call.

Paasonen -- {K-Diamonds}

Guillen -- {3-Spades}

The turn came {A-Diamonds}

and river

before Guillen's supporters on the rail went mad and mobbed him.

A word or two has to go to Mika Paasonen. He fought his way through his opponent's friends to congratulate his conqueror. After around five hours of heads up it's not nice to lose but he did himself proud by sticking in there despite being the short stack for most of the match.
