Leon Sturm Eliminated in 3rd Place ($90,800)
Level 17
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Chipleader Daniel Smiljkovic open-jammed the button and the short-stacked Leon Sturm made the call from the small blind.
Leon Sturm: A?5?
Daniel Smiljkovic: J?4?
"Uh-oh," said Sturm when he saw the flop of 9?10?8?. Smiljkovic hit one of his many outs on the 4? turn, and the J? river upgraded him to two pair. He eliminated Sturm and is now heads up with Aleksejs Ponakovs.
