The flop came {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Ho continued for 2,500,000. Soering raised to 7,200,000. Ho quickly three-bet jammed all in which forced Soering to frown and snap-fold as he lost a large portion of his stack to Ho who continued to build his stack.

Bjorn Bruns Eliminated in 6th Place (€121,970)

Level 39 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Björn Bruns
Björn Bruns

Bjorn Bruns went all in from under the gun for 11,500,000 with the {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Kyle Ho reshoved his slightly larger stack from the small blind with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} to fold out the big blind.

Bruns was dominated and would need a jack to survive. The flop came {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}, the turn was the {10-Spades} to put three spades on the board and leave Bruns drawing to just the jack of hearts. But the river was the {2-Hearts} and the lone online PokerStars qualifier at the final table was eliminated.
