Noel Rodriguez Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,111,897)
On the first hand of the heads up, Nick Schulman limped in from the button and Noel Rodriguez checked his big blind. A flop of 2?8?10? was then spread, on which Rodriguez checked to Schulman.
Schulman made a bet of 400,000 and Rodriguez raised to 1,300,000. After some thinking time, Schulman shoved all in to put Rodriguez's 6,275,000 remaining chips at risk.
Rodriguez snap called and the cards were flung open as the players awaited their fate.
Noel Rodriguez: J?2? 
Nick Schulman: 10?4?
Schulman's top pair was up against Rodriguez's bottom pair and flush draw. The 6? turn did not help either player, nor did the 6? river.
Schulman's top pair remained best, knocking out Rodriguez as the runner up.
Rodriguez took home the first seven-figure score of his career, more than doubling his lifetime tournament areas up until this point.
