Joris Michl - 2nd Place
At new blinds of 250,000-500,000/500,000, Joris Michl limped in the Q ♣️ 8 ♣️ and Dakota Anderson pushed all-in with the dominating A ♣️ J ♣️ to force a fold.
Anderson then limped in the next button and Michl checked to the 10 ♥️ 6 ♠️ 2 ♠️ flop. Michl check-raised from 500,000 to 1,500,000 and Anderson clicked it back to 5,000,000.
Michl went into the tank and then moved all-in, Anderson called.
Joris Michl: 10 ♦️ 5 ♠️
Dakota Anderson: K ♣️ 10 ♣️
Dakota Anderson and Joris Michl
Now it was Michl who was at risk and needed to improve on slim odds. He added many outs with the 3 ♠️ turn but the 15 outs never came on the 7 ♣️ river.
Both players shook hands before a very relieved and delighted Anderson grabbed the golden gauntlet, put it on and celebrated.
For Michl, he was denied the victory and had to settle for a consolation prize of PHP 3,840,000 ($61,723) one spot short of adding another trophy for the cabinet at home in Manila.
