Graffeo:

The flop quickly gave Graffeo the lead coming . Graffeo’s pair of aces was good, but Brown had outs. The turn wasn’t one of them and they went to the river with Brown needing one of the two remaining eights in the deck. It wasn’t to be as the board completed with the giving Graffeo trips.

Brown was eliminated in second place earning $178,209. Graffeo went home as the tournament’s champion good for $290,687, a pair of trophies, a $3,000 WPTDeepStacks package and a $5,250 seat in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open.
