Christopher Audrain Eliminated in 2nd Place ($115,129)
Level 30
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
In what would be the last hand of the final table and the 2019 HPT Season XV itself, Christopher Audrain raised to 250,000 on the button. Paul Bianchi decided he wanted to play for all of it, jamming 2,100,000 effective, already having amounted a massive lead over Audrain.
Audrain called, and the two players flipped over their hands on either end of the table.
Christopher Audrain: 
Paul Bianchi: 
Though Bianchi's queen blocked Audrain's flush outs, the flop brought two much-needed spades on 
, adding the ultimate sweat for the cards to come.
With 11 outs and two chances at finding them, the 
turn and 
river bricked off for Audrain, winning Bianchi the rest of the chips and the championship trophy.
