Amarapu would commit holding both low and high draws against Romaine’s top pair, and when the river bricked, Amarapu exited in third as Romaine entered heads-up play with the chip lead over Mark “victb” Ioli. The penultimate hand saw Ioli fold the river on a board with no low to be left with just under three big blinds. The next hand he was all in on the flop with second pair against the top pair of Romaine, and when no help fell for Ioli, he was eliminated in second-place as Romaine was crowned the Event #28 champion.
