For the second time on this final table, Michael Moussis found himself up versus pocket aces. In the first instance, his pair of deuces was able to come out as the winner, scoring him a double-up worth over 3-million versus Nick-Real Seide.
This time around, his fate was a little different. After opening to 275,000 from utg+1, he was faced with a 3bet all-in from Andrey Vainer worth 1,655,000. Once the rest of the table got out of the way, and after a moment of contemplation, he announced the call.

Michael couldn’t go 2 for 2 versus the pair of aces, and gave up nearly 60% of his stack to his neighbour.
