John Juanda Eliminated in 2nd Place (£545,000)
The last hand of the level saw John Juanda move all-in for about 3.4 million chips. David Vamplew checked his cards, took a deep breath and made the most important call of his life.

David Vamplew:
The board came . Vamplew had been all-in twice, both times with the worst hand and he managed two lucky double-ups to escape. This last level saw a complete turn around in the heads-up battle. Whatever Vamplew did or decided to do at the last break clearly managed to work as this level was mainly as one-sided as it was for Juanda earlier.
John Juanda with his four bracelets previously has had a lot of great results here in London, this is another, but the money won't be much comfort to the man who only wished to take home the title. Still, £545,000 will soften the blow a little
