Ben McLean Eliminated in 2nd Place (A$294,780)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Benjamin McLean - 2nd Place
Benjamin McLean - 2nd Place

Ben McLean raised to 230,000 from the button and Jonathan Karamalikis shipped all in from the big blind. McLean called off for 1.055 million total.

Karamalikis: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
McLean: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Karamalikis held the best hand and could win the tournament right here if his hand held up against the two suited overcards for the at-risk McLean. First, the flop came down {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} and Karamalikis' fives stayed in front.

The turn card brought the {2-Hearts} and paired the board. Still, it missed McLean and left him needed a six or an ace on the river.

The river card hit with the {2-Diamonds} and Karamalikis' fans erupted from up on the balcony. McLean and Karamalikis shook hands and congratulated one another. McLean won A$294,780 for his runner-up finish while Karamalikis took home the grand prize of A$459,510 and the title of 2010 APPT Sydney Grand Final Champion!
