Jesus Cortes Eliminated in 2nd Place (€1,147,750)
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jesus Cortes entered the heads-up match as a huge underdog in chips against a red-hot Sergio Aido. When Aido limped in on his button, Cortes announced all in for around 1,750,000, just under 15 big blinds. Aido quickly called and the cards were on their backs for what could be the last time.
Sergio Aido: 
Jesus Cortes: 
The flop came 
and Aido remained in the lead with his king-high. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
to bring an end to the tournament. Cortes will have to settle for second place but will still leave with a seven-figure payday.
