Denis Brosnahan Eliminated in 2nd Place (€53,000)
Denis Brosnahan had done well to navigate his way to heads-up with Derek Baker but was working with a huge chip deficit.
The first few hands of heads-up play involved Baker raising and taking or Brosnahan folding from the small blind, Brosnahan waiting for an opportunity to get a double-up.
In approximately the sixth hand of heads up play, Brosnahan moved all in for 4,400,000 and was called by Baker.
Denis Brosnahan: K♣3♣
Derek Baker: A♦6♣
Baker was ahead with ace-high versus king-high, but the K♥10♣5♥ flop propelled Brosnahan into the lead with a pair of kings. However hopes of a famous comeback were dashed by the A♣ turn, sending Baker back in front with a pair of aces.
The 2♦ completed the runout and Derek Baker celebrated his victory with his rail.
