Showdown
Hachem:
von Kriegenbergh:
The flop was a fine sight for Hachem, leaving his short-stacked opponent drawing dead to runner-runner. The turn was not what von Kriegenbergh was looking for as it sealed his fate as the fourth-place finisher.
That's good for $140,000, and it should be a fine consolation prize for the recent college graduate. "It's a good chunk of money," he said though. "It's about $100,000 more than I've made in any tourney."
It's a good result and a huge ROI for a guy who satellited into this event for about fifty bucks.

Ramdin:

With the nut flush, Ramdin led out with 150,000, and Ausmus quickly called. The river was a good card for Ramdin to get action, and his final 350,000-chip bet was also matched without too much delay.
Ramdin showed down the winner, grabbing the million-chip pot to get back up over 3 million.
Joe Hachem folded his button, Victor Ramdin completed from the small blind, and Taylor von Kriegenbergh knocked the table for a free flop.
Ramdin:
Von Kriegenbergh:
The dealer spread out , and both players checked to the turn. Ramdin checked again to let von Kriegenbergh take a stab before check-raising from 60,000 to 160,000. With just king-high, von Kriegenbergh didn't waste too much time making the call. That brought them to the river, and Ramdin took his pause. After some time, he announced an all in, and that sent von Kriegenbergh into the tank.
"Wow," he said. "There's one person sick enough to call with this..."
Von Kriegenbergh apparently is not that person as he correctly surrendered his cards into the muck.
