After a back-and-forth heads-up battle, the tournament is finally over.

It happened when Arthur Andrade raised the button and then called David Mitchell’s three-bet shove for 2.7 million.

Andrade:  4c 4s

Mitchell:  kd qc

It was a flip, and Mitchell actually pulled ahead on the  7s qs 10s flop, though Andrade picked up a spade draw. He hit it too when the  ks spiked on the turn, meaning Mitchell needed either a king or queen on the river to stay alive.

The dealer burned one last time and put out the  ac. Mitchell missed and had to settle for runner-up and a $65,229 consolation prize.
