Joshua Adkins Eliminated in 2nd Place ($880,621)
Level 31
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Joshua Adkins opened to 900,000 from the button and Elie Nakache defended his big blind.
On the 6?4?2? flop, Nakache check-raised to 2,000,000 over a bet of 600,000 and was called. Nakache fired out 3,500,000 on the K? turn, and Adkins stuck around for the final street.
The 10? completed the board, and Nakache moved all-in for Adkins' last 9,500,000. The American thought for around 30 seconds before making the call for the cards to be tabled.
Joshua Adkins: A?A?K?Q?
Elie Nakache: 8?5?4?3?
Nakache flopped the stone-cold nuts, cracking Adkins' double-suited aces to become France's 36th bracelet winner.
Adkins, who had never cashed in a WSOP event before, banked $880,621 for his runner-up performance.
