Lee Nelson raised the pot preflop from the button and Rainer Quel made the call.

They saw a flop of {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

and Quel checked to Nelson who fired 75,000. Quel then check-raised all in, sending Nelson into the tank. It was 144,000 more to Nelson and he eventually cut out his chips and made a crying call.

Nelson: {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

Quel:

{7-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

"Nice hand" said a dejected Nelson as he saw that Quel had flopped a set. However he sprung to life when the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

arrived giving him hope with a flush draw.

As Nelson called for a spade to win the tournament, the river bricked the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and Quel doubles through Nelson. Quel is up to 504,000 with Nelson down to 216,000.
