Eric Drache - 2nd Place

"Well, I don't want to hang onto these," said Eric Drache. "So I'll raise you." The action was at the river, with Drache having led every street but the last one, which he checked. The boards were:

Drache: (X-X) / {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

/ (X)
Ellis: (X-X) / {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

/ (X)

Drache put his last 20,000 chips in as a raise after Freddie Ellis bet the river. Ellis called with {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

, for the heart flush, and it was good enough to win the hand -- and the tournament. Drache was eliminated in 2nd place and will walk away with $231,014.
