Joel Wertheimer shoved for 7,425,000 from the button and Gabriel Schroeder snap-called.
Joel Wertheimer: K♥7♥
Gabriel Schroeder: A♦5♦
The flop came Q♣2♦8♥ to keep Schroeder ahead with ace high.
The 10♣ on the turn didn't change things, and neither did the 6♥ on the river. Wertheimer busted as the runner-up for a payday of $141,298. Schroeder won his first bracelet and $228,632 plus several bounties.
Schroeder ran to his rail and started tearing up while holding several papers which looked like a letter and some photos.
