Ari Engel Eliminated in 2nd Place ($34,155)
An epic heads up battle has come to an end eventually and it is Aussie Greg Cook who emerged victorious. Cook raised to 40,000 and Engel three-bet to 115,000, which Cook called.
The flop came and Engel led for 80,000, receiving a call. On the turn, Engel fired a second barrel worth 180,000 and Cook gave it some time before moving all in.
"Some funky something? King seven? Diamonds? You have me covered?"
"I think so," was the only answer Cook gave during the brief interrogation from Engel and the latter eventually called off with another 500,000 chips behind.

The rail was gathering for the river card and rooting for Engel, but the on the river was a brick for the American and both players shook hands. For his second place, Engel takes home a payday of A$34,155 and another LK Boutique championship ring stays on home soil.
