Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

E. A. finishes in 5th place after running into Martin Lechner

Martin Lechner opened with a raise from the cutoff to 2,300,000, before E. A. stuck in a 3-bet from the big blind to 8,500,000. Lechner agreed to call the extra and the two players took a flop.

E. A. put out a small continuation bet of 4,500,000 on the flop, with Lechner very quickly calling. The hit the turn, with E. A. slowing down to a check. Lechner locked eyes with E. A. for a moment, before pushing a full stack of pink 500,000-value chips over the line. It didn't take long for E. A. to make the call, as they headed to the river.

E. A. thought for a moment before moving all-in and, no sooner had the words left his lips, than Lechner had made the call and whipped over his for flopped second set. That was plenty good enough versus E. A.'s , which meant Lechner would drag in the huge pot to build himself a nine-figure stack, as E. A. headed to the cash desk to collect his adjusted 5th place payout of €29,920.
