Mike Deis Eliminated in 2nd Place ($58,583)

Level 28
: 30,000/60,000, 1,000 ante

In what turned out to be the final hand of the tournament, Mike Deis opened for 150,000 from the button only to have Jason Zarlenga three-bet to 360,000. Deis paused for a few beats before moving all in and Zarlenga snap-called.
Zarlenga:
Deis:
"We've got a race boys," Zarlenga told his rail. Indeed they did, but for Deis he was just looking to hold. Unfortunately for him, that was easier said than done as the flop paired Zarlenga's ace. Neither the
turn nor
river let Deis retake the lead, and he had to settle for runner-up and a $58,583 consolation prize.
