At the end, it seemed only fitting that on the first hand that Ben Yu got it in good heads-up, he would lose the pot. After a few raises, Yu was all in pre-flop for 235,000. Brendan Taylor called and tabled 
, a hand behind Yu's 
. This time, however, it was Taylor who paired on the flop, 
. Yu needed a nine or runners to stay alive, but the turn and river were both fours, 
and 
, to send Yu crashing out of the tournament in second place. He'll leave with $114,484. No doubt he's disappointed he didn't win, but he can take some measure of happiness from the fact that roommate Brendan Taylor was the winner.
