Runnar Lindepuu Eliminated in Second Place (€29,940)
With Marc Naalden making a standard raise of 75,000 preflop, Runnar Lindepuu took one look at his cards and announced, "All in."
"Call," came the immediate response, much to the interest of the Dutch contingent who swamped the table, their mouths salivating over the possibility of a Dutch winner.
And as Naalden revealed to Lindepuu's , there were few excited fist pumps, the majority sensing victory was nigh.
Indeed, it was, and as the board came , the crowd erupted in cheers for a fellow countryman, and a triumphant Naalden high-fived his nearest railer.
Lindepuu, meanwhile, a fine competitor and highly deserving of his runner-up spot, was reflective in defeat, commenting, "Oh well, second's still good." Well, he's right, second is still good, and good enough for a mighty €29,940.
