Championship: Ilyas Muradi Eliminated in 109th Place by Scott Heiligman

by

$3,500 WPT Poker Showdown Championship
Prize Pool:  $5,616,000  |  Structure  |  Payouts
Level 20:  10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 ante
Players Remaining:  109 of 1,755

Ilyas Muradi (who had just lost about 700K when his pocket kings were cracked by ten-nine) moved all in super short preflop with pocket tens in the hole, and Scott Heiligman had him covered by just a bit holding AhKc.

The final board read 5c4s2s4c3s, and Scott made a wheel straight to send Muradi home in 110th place for a cash worth $9,600. Heiligman stacked up 250,000 after collecting the pot.

Scott Heiligman – 250,000 (12 bb)
Ilyas Muradi – Eliminated in 109th place ($9,600)
