With about 3,300,000 already in the middle and the board reading 
, Thomas Scholze was in late middle position and heads-up against Jan Erlei in the cutoff. Scholze checked, Erlei bet 800,000, Scholze check-raised to 3,000,000, and after a bit of time in the tank, Erlei called.
The turn brought the 
and Scholze shoved, putting Erlei to the decision for the remainder of his stack. Erlei had about 6,000,000 behind and went into the tank once again. After several minutes went by, the clock was called, and shortly after tournament staff arrived on the scene, Erlei called to put himself at risk.
Scholze: 
Erlei: 
Erlei had top pair, top kicker but was trailing Scholze's two pair, and needed to improve on the river in order to double up. Erlei could not find help on the river and Scholze took the pot to send Erlei to the rail.
