The final hand of the tournament proved to be a doozy.

It began when Sunny Ali opened for 170,000 from the button and Jason Zarlenga raised to 580,000 from the big blind. Ali pushed back with a four-bet to 2 million, and then snap-called off when Zarlenga announced that he was all in.

Ali: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Zarlenga: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Both players held pocket pairs, but Ali's was best... that is until the flop came down {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

"Nice hand, bud," Ali told his opponent. The {J-Diamonds} turn meant Ali needed a king and a king only to stay alive, but it wasn't meant to be as the {9-Hearts} completed the board on the river. "Congratulations," Ali offered genuinely before walking around the table to shake hands with Zarlenga, the MSPT's third two-time champ and now all-time money leader.
