Joshua Adkins Eliminated in 2nd Place ($880,621)
Level 31
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Joshua Adkins opened to 900,000 from the button and Elie Nakache defended his big blind.
On the 6♣4♥2♠ flop, Nakache check-raised to 2,000,000 over a bet of 600,000 and was called. Nakache fired out 3,500,000 on the K♦ turn, and Adkins stuck around for the final street.
The 10♠ completed the board, and Nakache moved all-in for Adkins' last 9,500,000. The American thought for around 30 seconds before making the call for the cards to be tabled.
Joshua Adkins: A♠A♣K♠Q♣
Elie Nakache: 8♣5♦4♠3♥
Nakache flopped the stone-cold nuts, cracking Adkins' double-suited aces to become France's 36th bracelet winner.
Adkins, who had never cashed in a WSOP event before, banked $880,621 for his runner-up performance.
