Sylvain Loosli
After hours of six-handed play, it took less than a dozen hands to get down to the final three players.
Sylvain Loosli, a 26-year-old poker pro from Toulon, France, was a short-stacked ninja for much of the final table. Unfortunately for him, he made his final push holding Q7
and was caught by Ryan Reiss and his A

.
The board fell K9

and the Frenchman was eliminated in fourth place, earning a life-changing sum of $2,792,533.
It was only the third-ever cash for Loosli, who recently final tabled an event in Dublin for a modest $80,966.
Loosli, who came into the final table as the sixth largest stack, was designated as an 11-2 underdog by Caesars Entertainment. His elimination guaranteed that an American would win this year’s WSOP main event.
