When they started their heads-up match, Cédric Meyer had a 3 to 1 lead over Keith Laflam, and was leaning over him. It seemed like it was just a matter of time before he actually took this thing down. But then Laflam pulled the ole river-check-in-the-dark-raise on him, which pretty much put them on an equal footing.
Then Meyer suffered the beat that cost him the trophy. He min-raised Laflam from the button to 240K. Laflam went all-in, and Meyer snap-called and confidently opened 
. Laflam tabled 
, and at that point the result was out of their hands. The board hurt Meyer right away: 
.
He was left with only a few tokens, which were lost the next hand when Laflam hit a straight and sealed it.
Tough beat for Meyer, but he cashes $4,225 for his effort, while Laflam takes the Champion’s Trophy, along with $5,510 for the win.
Great job and Congratulations to both of you!
