Paul Berende Eliminated in 2nd Place ($172,695)

 

We arguably got the two best players heads-up, but you have to feel so sorry for Paul Berende. He was one card away from being crowned a WPT Champion and the [8h] broke his heart. It took just a few orbits for Berende to finally succumb to the giant stack and this is how it happened.

Vladimir Bozinovic opens from the button, Paul Berende moves all-in and Bozinovic calls.

Showdown

Bozinovic: [As] [9s]

Berende: [Ac] [8c]

Board: [Qc] [Th] [2h] [5d] [Ad]

Vladimir Bozinovic is our new WPT Champion. Huge commiserations to Paul Berende who came so close but we are sure we will see him again soon.
