Chad Campbell

Immediately after putting a cooler on Chad Campbell to double up, Patrick Khayat clinched the Event 36 title via another ice-cold hand to seal his victory.

Khayat limped the button and Campbell checked to the 7♣42♠ flop. Campbell checked and Khayat bet 100,000. A check-raise came from Campbell to 250,000 and Khayat potted. Campbell re-potted all-in for 1,340,000 total and Khayat called.

Khayat’s J77♠5 set crushed the A♣J♠72 of Campbell and the 2 left him with a one-outer to stay alive.

The 3♠ river just missed and Campbell settles for the silver medal. A winner’s recap will be posted shortly.
