Vaillancourt has Reason to Smile
Hand #19
Benjamin Reason enjoyed the first walk of the final table.
Hand #20
Michael Gathy opened to 35,000 from late position, before Jason Duval raised to 85,000 on the button. The bet was large enough to force a fold from Gathy.
Hand #21
The action folded around to Yueqi Zhu in the hijack, who’s bet of 35,000 was enough to take down the pot.
Hand #22
Noah Vaillancourt looked down at his cards, before opting to move all in for his last 97,000 in chips. The decision moved to Benjamin Reason, who thought for a moment, before making the call. The button and blinds folded as the two players then tabled their cards.
Reason: 
Vaillancourt: 
The board ran out 
to see Vaillancourt hold with his ace-high, much to the delight of the loud supporting crowd.
