Kaiser Delivers Brutal Beat; Soars Over Million
Five places before the money, table chipleader Ronny Kaiser opened to 15,000 in middle position and Jakub Michalak called from the hijack.
Ryan Yu three-bet to 58,000 on the button and Kaiser paused. He used a time-bank chip, then shrugged and moved all in, covering both players. Michalak quickly folded but Yu called all in for 420,000 to create the largest pot of the tournament so far.
Ronny Kaiser: 
Ryan Yu: 
Yu was in excellent shape to catapult to the chip lead, while Kaiser needed an eight to win. The Swiss picked up more outs after the 
flop. The 
on the turn was safe for Yu, keeping his jacks in the lead.
The 
on the river, however, sunk Yu's hopes just shy of the money. Kaiser scooped up the gigantic pot and now has over a million in chips, Yu was left with nothing.
