James Cavanaugh Eliminated in 2nd Place ($188,190)
Livello 40
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
With almost 10,000,000 in the middle before the flop, James Cavanaugh checked the 9♠10♣6♥ board from the big blind. Sascha Wilhelm fired a bet of 3,200,000 on the button before Cavanaugh check-raised to 12,000,000.
Wilhelm called to the 2♥ turn, where Cavanaugh took some time before announcing pot for 33,600,000. That represented almost all of his remaining stack, and he was quick to call after Wilhelm committed the rest.
James Cavanaugh: 10♥8♣7♥5♥ 
Sascha Wilhelm: Q♥9♦6♠2♦
Cavanaugh had a straight and needed to fade a paired board. His rail reacted in disgust as the 9♣ river left Wilhelm with a full house, eliminating Cavanaugh in the runner-up position.
