The final two tables battled for quite a while to get down to the final table and in the largest pot of the main event, Dylan Meier (pictured) ran into an impossible spot to bust to Kelly Van De Mheen.
Van De Mheen opened the button to 60,000 and Meier called in the big blind. Meier checked the 8♠5♥3♥ flop and Van De Mheen checked behind. Meier checked again on the Q♠ turn and Van De Mheen bet 60,000. It didn't take long for Meier to call and the 6♠ hit the river. Meier bet 170,000 and Van De Mheen moved all-in.
Meier was pained at the decision in front of him and tanked for three minutes as Van De Mheen laid back in his seat. Meier eventually called for 574,000 total with K♠5♠ and Van De Mheen rolled over A♠J♠ for the stone nuts.
Meier took a second to collect himself and then went to the rail. Van De Mheen raked in the pot and is the first player to hit 1,000,000. The players are drawing for final table seats and the updated assignments and chip counts will be posted shortly.
