The Belarusian pro took home a pay cheque of $7,114,500 for his stellar and gritty performance. The runner-up added a sum of $4,663,950 to his bankroll for his second place finish in the widely followed poker tournament. 

Another Indian made history when he reached the final table of this popular event. Yes, it was Santhosh Suvarna who bought into this mega buy-in tourney and fought valiantly to reach the final table and eventually finish at the sixth position. Sadly he did not get paid for his efforts as only top four places got paid in this tournament.

After Suvarna it was Nick Petrangelo who busted at the 5th spot. The eliminations followed in the form of Isaac Haxton (4th – $1,224,800), Dan Cates (3rd – $2,806,750). 

‘Jungleman’ was the chip lead when the final six players were set. The pro had 4,865,000 chips (61 BB) to his name at the end of Day 2.
