Paul Runcan Eliminated in 2nd Place (€900,000)
Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Pedro Marques raised to 1,000,000 from the button and Paul Runcan shoved from the big blind for 12,225,000. Marques called.
Paul Runcan: Q♦J♣ 
Pedro Marques: K♦Q♣
All of a sudden, Runcan was on the brink of elimination. The flop of 6♣3♥K♥ put Marques in a commanding position to clinch the title, and left Runcan with a slim shot at survival.
By the time the 2♣ hit the turn, it was all over as Runcan was drawing dead. The 9♥ on the river was just a formality, and Runcan had to settle for second.
