In the end, Michael Raimon bested Likang Berninger in heads-up play to win the title for $13,894 and his second gold ring.
“It’s nice. I don’t really play Circuit events anymore, mostly cash,” the 48-year-old Raimon said after his win while also commenting on three-handed play. “We just played slow all three of us. This guy [Austin Clanton] had 2 million, we each had like 150,000 for about an hour and a half and a we all picked our spots. He kept doubling everybody up one after another, then I finally got one big hand with him where he flopped a straight and I turned a full house.”
