They check down the board and Mikkelsen is not not looking happy; and indeed his is no good against de Korver's for two pair, and Tulchinskiy's is no good either. De Korver wins the pot, and our former gigantic chip leader is our surprise fourth-place finisher.
Woodward: 8,140,000
Tulchinskiy: 4,820,000
Mikkelsen: 360,000
Wow.
On the flop of , de Korver comes again with a bet of 430,000. Mikkelsen isn't deterred; he calls to see the fall on the turn. De Korver moves forward in his chair and bets 1,040,000. Mikkelsen looks de Korver's stack up and down and asks for a count. The stacks are almost even. Armed with that knowledge, Mikkelsen moves all in. Snap-call from de Korver!

Whoops. Maybe it was frustration, but that's a huge gaffe by Mikkelsen. He's drawing dead against de Korver's full house and has to ship almost his whole stack across the table after the river. Mikkelsen is left with just 360,000, the same amount that de Korver had at one time at this final table.
Pieter de Korver - 7,520,000
Dag Mikkelsen - 6,920,000
Mikhail Tulchinskiy - 4,590,000
