It was a swingy heads-up match between Dylan Payne and Aidan Klingbeil. Both players had the lead at points during HU play, and they both had the chance to end it with their opponent all in at risk.
It took a few tries before one of those actually stuck, however. The big hand happened when Klingbeil flopped a set of fours that topped two pair for Payne, leaving him on fumes. He managed to claw his way back into it with a couple of very strong hands for doubles, getting back up to a couple of hundred thousand before the cooler hit.
The final money went in with pair over pair as Klingbeil had K♠Q♠Q♥2♥ to 8♠7♠7♣4♠ for Payne. The queens held and Payne was out in 2nd place tonight.
