It only took a few hands of heads-up play and it actually looked as though Matt Russell was slowly chipping away at the insurmountable deficit he faced. However, Russell raised to 125,000 on the button and Rick Troendly called from the big blind.
The flop came and Troendly checked to Russell who continued for 200,000. Troendly check-raised all in, putting Russell to the test for his remaining 1,600,000 chips. Russell thought for a minute before deciding to stick them in the middle.

Despite flopping top pair, Russell was drawing slim with Troendly already having a flush. The turn was the to give Russell some hope but the on the river was not what he was looking for.
'We got it, baby!' Troendly shouted with his arms in the air. The two players shook hands and Russell headed to the payout desk to collect his runner-up prize.
