Konstantin Bilyauer Eliminated in 2nd Place (€250,000)
Kevin Stani opened for 25,000 on the button and Konstantin Bilyauer called to see a flop. They both checked.
The turn was the and Bilyauer now bet out 375,000. Stani remained motionless for a moment, and then raised to 875,000. Bilyauer called.
They saw an river and this time, after a pause, Bilyauer bet out 1.2 million, leaving himself just 1.4 million behind. Stani paused... and paused... and then announced all in.
Bilyauer sighed deeply and smiled. He dropped his head, and stared intently into his lap for some time. Eventually he stood up, but continued to tank for a while, playing with his remaining chips.
Then he called.
Whatever Bilyauer called all in with, we will never know, as Stani turned over for the nuts and Bilyauer mucked his hand.
The young Russian will have to settle for second place and a rather nice €250,000 for his first ever live cash, because with that, we have ourselves a winner.
