From the button, Kyriakos Papadopoulos announces he is all in for 47,400,000 total.

Bobby Poe looks down at his hole cards, cuts out some chips, re-checks his hand once more, and then plonks forward a stack of chips to signify a call all-in for his 12,300,000 total.

Poe was at risk and a slight underdog to Papadopoulos as the dealer spread a flop.

Papadopoulos and Poe’s rail had encroached upon the final table area to sweat the potentially final runout of the tournament, and as a bevy of screams from different railbirds echo across the stage, the dealer burns and turns the on the turn.

Poe was down to just six outs; a queen or a nine to keep his tournament alive. Unfortunately for the seasoned tournament veteran, he would see the peel off on the river to complete the board, and he would be eliminated in 2nd place for a $139,930 payday; the biggest of his poker career.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos wins the Zynga Poker WPT500 Las Vegas, earning the title, the trophy, and $207,940. Congratulations, Kyriakos!
