Jans Arends Eliminated in 3rd Place ($694,019)
Level 24
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Leon Sturm raised to 1,000,000 on the button and Jans Arends defended from the big blind. The flop fell 9?5?4? and Arends started with a check. Sturm continued with a bet of 900,000 and Arends check-raised all in 6,625,000. Sturm snap-called and the cards were on their backs.
Jans Arends: 10?9?
Leon Sturm: Q?9?
Sturm was in a dominating position after both players flopped top pair. The 4? on the turn provided some chop outs but the 3? on the river ended Arends' run in third place.
The final two players are taking a quick break to prepare for the heads-up match.
