Amanda Musumeci Eliminated in 2nd Place ($481,643)

The final hand of Event 9: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry at the 2012 World Series of Poker has been dealt and it went a little something like this.

Ashkan Razavi opened to 200,000 from the button and Amanda Musumeci decided now was the time to shove her short-stack all in. Razavi thought for just a few moments before making the call, prompting both players to turn their hands over.

Razavi: {k-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Musumeci: {q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

The players were on their feet, the rail was in their feet, the excitement was building. The dealer turned over a {7-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Clubs} flop. Razavi hit his ten and Musumeci would need some help. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn was no good and it was looking like it was about to be all over.

River: {k-Spades}

Another pair for Razavi and that was it for Musumeci. For her 2nd place effort, Musumeci received a bittersweet $481,643. And with that, Ashkan Razavi wins his first WSOP gold bracelet.
