Ruslan Prydryk - 5th Place
Oleksandr Vaserfirer opened to 70,000 from the cutoff seat before Ruslan Prydryk three-bet it to 250,000 on the button. Alfio Battisti quickly folded his small blind, but Christophe Benzimra appeared to be toiling over a tough decision in the big. After a moment's pause, he waved both hands forward in that familiar all-in gesture, committing his final 622,000 chips to the pot.
The play was back on Vaserfirer now, and he let out a big sigh, slumping in his chair slightly. He asked for a count of Prydryk's stack as well, still looking pained. After a minute or two, Vaserfirer simply said, "Call." Prydryk had nearly half of his stack out there already, and he reluctantly called all in for a total of 620,000, putting the largest pot of the tournament up for grabs!
With two players all in, the cards were turned up:
Vaserfirer:
Prydryk:
Benzimra:

Unfortunately for Ruslan Prydryk, he has run out of chips thanks to that stunner of a pot. He'll take home fifth-place, earning himself 295,770 PLN.
