Florian Strasser
Florian Strasser started the Event 36 final table as chip leader and his run ends in fourth. Strasser’s loss against Chad Campbell placed him as the four-handed short stack and his watch is now over.
Strasser raised to 130,000 on the button and Patrick Khayat potted from the small blind. Strasser called all-in for 500,000 with Q♦9♠8♦7♣ and had a matchup with Khayat’s K♦Q♣J♦5♣.
The Q♥10♠9♣ flop resulted in a straight for Khayat and the 10♣ turn put Strasser one step closer to the payout desk. The 2♥ river completed the board and Strasser earns over $20,000.
Patrick Khayat – 1,650,000
Florian Strasser – 4th place ($20,828)
