Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

The preflop action escaped us, but we do know that Steffen Sontheimer got his stack of 77,000 all in against Phil Hellmuth, who barely had him covered with a stack of 89,500.

Sontheimer: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Hellmuth: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Sontheimer was in desperate need of an eight, but he was left wanting after the board ran out {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

Registration is open for another hour, so there's a chance we see Sontheimer again if he opts to exercise his single re-entry option.
