Philip Joyce Eliminated in 2nd Place (£126,000)
Level 36
: Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Arian Kashani made it 1,000,000 from the button and Philip Joyce shoved for over 11,000,000 from the big blind. Kashani called.
Philip Joyce: 10?9?
Arian Kashani: K?Q?
This could be the moment! Kashani had the overcards and if he could survive a runout, he would be the UKIPT Main Event champion.
However, the 9?4?6? flop threw a spanner in works as Joyce improved to a pair to take the lead. The 4? on the turn made things more nerve-wracking for both players as Kashani improved to a flush draw, but it was still Joyce's pair that was good.
Joyce couldn't find a way back into the match as the 8? landed on the river, which meant he was out in second.
