Ludovic Geilich raised to 360,000 and Ed O’Connell moved all in. Geilich looked pained as he asked for a count.
It took about 90 seconds for the tournament director to organize and count down O’Connell’s stack, but the amount was ultimately settled on as 5,640,000. Geilich tanked for another minute or so before throwing in a stack to signify a call, and the cards were turned on their backs.
Geilich showed A
10, but he was dominated and in rough shape against O’Connell’s A
K.
“What more could I want?” shouted O’Connell, to no one in particular.
Geilich, however, was much more reserved and didn’t even celebrate as the flop fell Q
109, vaulting him into the lead. The turn was the 3, taking away even more outs from O’Connell.
The river was the 7
and O’Connell was eliminated. He took home $106,366 for his runner-up finish. Geilich takes the title, the trophy and the $150,662 first-place prize.
