Sormunen:
Duta:
Duta got it in with the best hand, but one card later he'd be drawing dead as the turn gave Sormunen his straight. The meaningless river was put out for good measure, and Duta took his leave in 21st place for €34,950.

The preflop details escaped us, but we do know that Rens Feenstra was all in preflop for 878,000 and was racing against Valentino Konakchiev.
Feenstra:
Konakchiev:
The flop was safe for Feenstra, and the turn actually improved him to a set. With that said, Konakchiev was still looking for paint, though instead of a king and jack, he now needed a queen to make Broadway.
Fortunately for Feenstra and his supporters on the rail, the river wasn't a lady. The chips were counted down and Konakchiev was left with just half a million after the hand.
