Seventh-place and $205,258 went to the dangerous Malinowski. The blinds were 175,000/350,000/45,000a, and Malinowski was down to 788,995 chips after posting the big blind and antes. Villamarin set him all-in with what turned out to be jack-ten, and Malinowski looked him up. Malinowski spiked an ace on the flop, but the board four-flushed with diamonds, and Villamarin held the ten of diamonds. Ouch!
Chris Puetz was the next player heading to the cashier's desk, doing so to collect the $266,187 sixth place prize. Puetz raised to 2,450,000 with king-queen under the gun, which left him only 1,217,626 chips behind. Joakim Andersson three-bet to 6,650,000 from the next seat along holding pocket nines, and Puetz called all-in. Andersson's medium pair held, and he guaranteed himself at least a fifth-place finish, thus becoming the Super MILLION$ biggest overall winner.
Start-of-the-Day Chip Leader Busts in Fifth
Start-of-the-day chip leader Christopher Frank lost a coinflip against Andersson. Frank min-raised to 800,000 with ace-queen when first to act under the gun. Andersson responded with a three-bet to 2,280,000 on the button with pocket tens. Frank shipped in the 7,046,571 chips he had behind and was called. Andersson improved to an unnecessary set on the river to bust Frank and to claim the tournament's chip lead with four players remaining.
The final table lost a superstar in fourth place when Adrian Mateos ran out of steam. Mateos made a move for his last 11.5 big blinds with ace-seven of spades and will count himself unlucky to run straight into the dominating ace-queen of judd trump. Neither player improve, but judd trump did not need to. GG, Mateos.
That hand pushed judd trump's stack north of 31.5 million with only 56.2 million chips in play, which put the ball firmly in the Chinese grinder's court. However, he went into the heads-up section of the tournament trailing because Andersson's pocket tens held against the ace-deuce of diamonds in Villamarin's hand to bust the latter in third for $580,558.
