Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
After a few hands without any showdown, Thomas Muehloecker had built his stack to around 1,200,000 while Julian Stuer kept either raising or open-shoving into both short stacks. Then, Stuer raised to 100,000 and Muehloecker three-bet shoved out of the small blind for 24 big blinds. John Juanda folded and Stuer called.
Julian Stuer: 
Thomas Muchloecker: 
The flop of 
failed to improve Muehloecker, and he was in need of an eight after the 
turn, as Stuer had improved to a straight. Instead, it was the blank 
and Muehloecker was eliminated in 3rd place for �471,400. Juanda has at least �683,900 guaranteed and has to overcome a more than 6-1 lead of Stuer to claim the title.
