There was a sudden change in pace in the tournament once the deal was made, and Alexandre Gaudreau saw his chip-lead stack get grinded down time after time by both his opponents. He was finally left with just 1.6 million when he 3-bet all-in with his “favourite hand”, tabling 
versus the 
of his opponent Karim Idrissi.
Alexandre was drawing dead before the turn as Karim flopped the nuts on a 
board to bring The Wild $150 down to heads-up action.
The money has just been laid out on the felts, and Karim Idrissi (17,225,000) is in a heads-up duel versus Arnold Yaxley (6,575,000) for the Champion’s Trophy, as well as the extra $3,000 set aside for the winner. They have both already locked in $18K and change each.
Congratulations!
3rd place: Alexandre Gaudreau – $20,451.00
