In the first hand of the day, the action folded to Georgios Sotiropoulos in the small blind and he jammed his 21,800,000 in the middle. Paul Fehlig was in the big blind and gave it some thought for about 30 seconds before slamming a stack of chips down to make the call.

Georgios Sotiropoulos: {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Paul Fehlig: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Fehlig had him dominated and pulled further ahead on the {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. The {9-Hearts} turn and the {4-Hearts} river meant Sotiropoulos was taken out in sixth place for $79,888.
