Cary Katz Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,592,539)
Level 24
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jans Arends limped in on the button and Cary Katz announced all in for 7,450,000 from the big blind. Arends snap-called and the cards were tabled with all of the chips on the line.
Cary Katz: Q♠4♠
Jans Arends: A♦K♦
The dealer fanned the flop of A♥Q♦J♥ to give both players a pair but Arends was out front with the aces. The 3♣ on the turn was a brick and the K♠ on the river improved Arends to two pair. Katz was eliminated in second place and Arends was awarded his first live WSOP bracelet.
