Will Failla misses two draws and ends up finishing in second place to Jim Wiley.  Failla had a flush draw and OE straight draw while holding 9♣ 6♣, but is beaten by Wiley's pair of queens while holding A♥ Q♣.

Failla, who was looking for his third career Borgata trophy, was unable to get a double-up while being short stacked all of heads up play.  

Despite finishing runner-up, the deep run will help Failla stay in the top 10 of the Tournament Leaderboard where he was 5th to start the day.
