Lars Kamphues Eliminated in 2nd Place (�119,500)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Lars Kamphues raised to 900,000 and was called by Denis Gergoc in the big blind.

The flop brought and Gergoc checked to then faced a bet worth 1,100,000 by Kamphues, which he called. They headed to the turn and Gergoc checked once more.

Kamphues now bet 3,700,000 out of a stack of 11,675,000 and Gergoc jammed with the superior stack to get called by Kamphues.

Denis Gergoc:

Kamphues was in prime shape to double into a comfortable lead but Gergoc struck golden with the river. He jumped out of his chair in celebration and ran over to his Swiss rail, which also included Emil Bise.

In the meanwhile, Kamphues could all but remove his microphone and then embrace the opponent briefly. For the German, a consolation prize of �119,500 awaits while Gergoc takes home the top prize of �189,650 along with the coveted WSOP Circuit gold ring.
