"and_ortega" Eliminated in 2nd Place

Level 54: 700,000/1,400,000

"fjreis" limped on the button and then called after "and_ortega" raised to 4,200,000 in the big blind.

Action checked through the 6♠K♥A♥ flop to the 4♥ turn at which point "and_ortega" bet out 6,562,404. "fjreis" made the call to see a river.

The river came K♦ and "and_ortega" checked. "fjreis" moved all in with the covering stack and, after some thought, "and_ortega" called off for their last 21,410,900 with A♦2♥. Their pair came up short, however, against the 6♥3♥ of "fjreis" to force them out in 2nd place and crown "fjreis" the winner.
