Brian Grier Wins Event #2 ($8,161)
On the last hand of the match, Garrett Riley limps the button for the minimum 12,000, Brian Grier (pictured above) raises to 37,000 in the big blind, and Riley moves all in for 108,000 total. Grier quickly calls to put his opponent at risk, and the cards are on their backs.

The flop provides plenty of drama, as Riley flops top set against Grier's massive wrap. The lands on the turn, and Grier takes a big lead with a seven-high straight to find himself one card from the title. Riley needs the board to pair to stay alive, but the on the river is a blank. Grier wins the pot and the tournament with a straight, collecting his first ring and the top prize of $8,161.
Riley (below) finishes as the runner-up, earning a $5,043 consolation prize.
