Dylan Garland Eliminated in 2nd Place ($92,460)
Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Back down to less than 1 million in chips, Dylan Garland defended his big blind against a min-raise to 100,000 by Christopher Soyza. The flop came 
and Garland check-raised all in for what looked like 750,000 chips. Soyza, who had bet 100,000, called quickly and they tabled the cards:
Garland: 
for middle pair
Soyza: 
for top pair
Both the 
turn and the 
river blanked and Garland was eliminated in 2nd place for A$92,460. Soyza not only won this event in 2016, but the defending champion secured a back-to-back triumph in Melbourne!
