Congratulations to Henri Buehler from Germany who finished second in our DeepStack Championship Event #72 $3,500 NLH $2M GTD winning $255,938.

In what would be the final hand of this amazing tournament, Ran Ilani called from the button, and Buehler checked behind. The flop fell 2♦ 8♥ 9♠. Buehler checked, and Ilani bet 450K. With a 9♥ on the turn, Buehler led out with a 1.1 million bet, and Ilani shoved over the top, essentially forcing Buehler to call all-in with his final 10.4 million chips; which he did.

Henri Buehler: Q♠ 9♦
Ran Ilani: 10♠ 7♥

Buehler was ahead with trip nines; however, a J♥ on the river gave Ilani the straight and, subsequently, the victory in front of a huge crowd and his very exuberant rail.
