Nino Ullmann: 
Nicolas Malo: 
Ullmann had flopped the nut straight, with Malo holding nothing but a straight draw of his own.
The turn 
and river 
couldn't save him and Malo became the first elimination at the final table.
"I'm not sure about the play," Malo told the live stream. "Maybe I should fold preflop, but I'm just really happy in general.
"On Day 2 I went all in for 30,000 with 
against 
so I just ran super good and won a lot of all-ins to get here. The organisation is super good as well; it's just a great tournament with a super good field."
