In the pot were around 2,000,000 chips, and the flop showed 7?3?4? when PokerNews joined the action. Thomas Mayer, seated in the big blind position, checked to Leon Sturm, who bet 450,000. Mayer deliberated for a moment before pushing all in with around 6,175,000 chips. Sturm took his time considering the decision, costing him one time bank card, but ultimately made the call.
Thomas Mayer: K?7?
Leon Sturm: A?4?
Both players had a pair, but Mayer was ahead with a pair of sevens. The turn brought an 8?, but the river sealed the deal with the A?, giving Sturm two pair - aces and fours, and Mayer was eliminated from the tournament.
