After starting heads up as the shorter stack, Michael Shea made a comeback to have Nick outchipped. Nick doubled through him once, but that was the only time. On the final hand of play, Michael flopped the nut flush with [As][2s]. The two players made it all the way to the river, when Nick checked and Michael moved all in. Nick talked it out out loud and said Michael could only have flopped a flush the way he played his hand. In the end, Nick called all in and was indeed shown the nut flush. Nick mucked, and Michael Shea will win the tournament. He will collect $30,939 along with the World Poker Finals trophy and watch. Congratulations, Michael!
