Sebastian Malec Eliminated in 2nd Place ($697,115*)
Level 30
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Sebastian Malec shoved from the button for his last few big blinds, and Ryan Mandara snap-called from the big blind .
Sebastian Malec: K?9? 
Ryan Mandara: 10?10?
Just like that, Mandara was a huge favorite to bag the title and was a clean runout away from a huge victory. The flop of 8?6?3? kept the pocket tens of Mandara well in the lead. An 8? dropped on the turn, and Malec didn't improve on the 4? river.
A great effort from the 2016 EPT Main Event champion, who had to settle for second.
