Andrew Lichtenberger Eliminated in 2nd Place ($215,403)

Andrew Lichtenberger - 2nd Place
Andrew Lichtenberger - 2nd Place
These two players aren't afraid to play their big hands fast preflop and they both happily committed with their holdings in this hand.

Peter Traply -- {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Andrew Lichtenberger -- {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

The final board ran {5-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}.

With that Andrew is eliminated and Peter is mobbed by his friends. Andrew got lucky early to crack [Removed:198]'s aces but he showed his class throughout this final table table experience and so very nearly make a remarkable comeback after being crippled during heads-up play.
