Oscar Johansson Eliminated in 2nd Place ($192,690)
Benny Glaser raised it up on the button and Oscar Johansson defended out of the big blind. The Swede discarded trey versus deuce and Johansson check-called a bet. Johansson discarded two versus one and then check-called all-in for fewer than a full bet.
Both discarded one and tabled their cards.
Oscar Johansson: Jx10x8x4x
Benny Glaser: 9x7x6x5x
Glaser inquired if his opponent wanted to go first and that was the case, as Johansson flipped over his final card. That happened to be a repeat 10x and he was drawing dead unless Glaser would hit an eight for a straight. However, that wasn��t the case as the Ax for Glaser officially ended the tournament in favor of the Brit.
Johansson has to settle for a runner-up finish in a 2-7 Triple Draw tournament once more and collects $192,690 for the efforts, while Glaser has earned his fifth WSOP gold bracelet along with the top prize of $311,428.
