Defending Champion Gets Rivered

Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Defending champion Simon Wiciak was all-in and at risk for around 900,000 against Andrew Hulme.
Simon Wiciak: A?K?
Andrew Hulme: Q?Q?
Wiciak took a big lead on the flop of 8?2?A? and the 4? turn didn't change anything. But the dealer then put down the Q? river and those at the table groaned as Hulme improved to put a tough beat on the Frenchman.
