Scott Buller - 2nd Place
Scott Buller - 2nd Place
Scott Buller opened with a raise from the button to 175,000 and then Michael Davis announced a reraise. He made it 600,000 to go. Buller then moved all in and after a moment of hesitation, Davis made the call.

Buller tabled {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} as Davis flipped over {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds} onto the felt. The crowd was brought to their feet again in this heads-up battle for another big all-in confrontation.

The flop came down {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Spades} and the crowd stayed rather quiet. Joe Sebok yelled out, "That's O.K., that's O.K. We'll take a wheel for the chop."

Then, the dealer burned and turned the {9-Hearts}! The crowd erupted with both cheers from Davis' section and sighs of disbelief from Buller's section. Still, there was one card to come.

The dealer paused, patted the felt, and burned... the {4-Clubs} and that was it! Davis was able to come from behind in the last hand to eliminate Buller in second place and take the victory! For his efforts, Buller earned nearly $270,000 in winnings. The two shook hands and congratulated one another as Davis' cheering section roared. Davis' daughter, Rachel, was first to run over and give him a big hug, yelling, "So sick, you're so sick!" repeatedly.
