$1,100 Triple Stack NLH (Re-Entry) Prize Pool:  $302,640  |   Payouts Level 30:  75,000/125,000 with a 125,000 ante Players Remaining:  1 of 312 1n2mf

Event 14 Champion Nicholas Chong

Nicholas Chong limped for 125,000, Matthew Lambrecht moved all in from the big blind for 2,525,000, and Chong called with QcJh.

Lambrecht turned over Ad6c, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came Qd10d2h5hQh, and Chong paired his queen on the flop and rivered trips to win the pot — and the trophy and $60,340 — with trip queens.

Matthew Lambrecht finished as the runner-up, earning $41,500.

Congratulations to Nicholas Chong!
