It took just two hands for Jason Mercier to take apart talented French player Antony Lellouche. With Mercier holding $5.7 million to the Frenchman's $1.3 million, many were wondering if Lellouche's aggressive style would get him into trouble. That's exactly what happened in the second hand of heads-up play.

In the final hand Mercier made a standard raise from the button and Lellouche reraised to $400,000. Mercier shoved all-in, having Lellouche easily covered, and Lellouche called instantly.

The players flip over their cards. The board comes with a new change having the spiked queen on the flop Mercier gets the check mark and the tournament. An American had surprised everyone by becoming the winner of the first major poker event ever held in Italy. Lellouche received €505,000 for his second-place finish while Mercier will took down the big prize for first, which was €869,000.
