Zak Baron Eliminated in 2nd Place ($146,080)

After being ground down to a short stack, Zak Baron moved all in with Q♥7♠ and was called by Mallory with J♦9♣ to put him at risk, the tournament hanging in the balance. 

 

Baron was still in the lead on the flop of 5♠4♣K♣, but the J♥ smacked down on the turn and the rail erupted as Mallory took the lead!

 

Only a queen on the river would save Baron, but it was the brick 5♦ to eliminate him as the runner-up.
