The dealer burns and turns the on the river, and Farah is eliminated in second-place for a $485,611 payday as Lima’s entourage immediately storms the stage and embraces Lima in a huge group hug.

Vinicius Lima wins the Season XVII WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open for $728,430, along with a Hublot Big Bang Steel Watch, and a $15,000 entry into the season-ending Baccarat Crystal Tournament of Champions.
