Steven Jones Eliminated in 2nd Place ($6,500,000)

Hand #164: Steven Jones opened to 7,000,000 on the button and Daniel Weinman called. Weinman checked on the J♠5♠2♦ flop and Jones continued for 6,000,000. Weinman check-raised to 18,500,000 and Jones called.

Weinman then sized up to 38,000,000 on the 4♣ turn and Jones went in the tank for slightly more than four minutes before shipping it with a stack of 146,000,000. Weinman instantly asked "how much" before vaulting out of his chair and took only 25 seconds to make the call.

Steven Jones: J♣8♦
Daniel Weinman: K♣J♦

Once the cards were revealed, Weinman leaped to his rail in anticipation with just one card to come.

Jones had top pair but Weinman had him out-kicked to be a massive favourite to become the next WSOP Main Event champion.

The dealer let them sweat before putting down the A♥ river as Weinman buried his face in his hands after an emotional victory, getting hugged by his entire rail.
