Brandon Zuidema shoved all in for approximately 2,900,000 and Kaveh Roghanian called.

Zuidema: K♥8♦
Roghanian: A♣J♥

The A♦3♠2♣ flop put Roghanian well in front, but the K♣ turn provided a sweat. However, the 9♣ river bricked out, and Zuidema was eliminated as runner-up for $8,319 + bounties following an epic heads-up battle that lasted over five hours.

Zuidema entered the final table with only a couple of big blinds and almost spun it up to a win but will have to settle for the runner-up consolation prize. Meanwhile, Roghanian was left with under two big blinds at one point during heads-up play and was able to secure four consecutive doubles en route to an unlikely victory to claim the trophy and $11,473 + bounties.

Kaveh Roghanian – 12,250,000
