Daniel Schwitter limped in from the button and "Kaspar Schmid" completed his small blind. Anton Heinrich sat waiting in the big blind and made a raise to 1,400,000, after which Schwitter back-raised all-in for 4,500,000. "Kaspar Schmid" got out of the way before Heinrich made the call.
Daniel Schwitter: 8♦8♣
Anton Heinrich: K♥J♥
Heinrich would immediately flop a pair on K♦5♥2♣, and neither the 2♣ turn nor 4♠ river brought a set for Schwitter.
He drunk what was left of his beer and exited the tournament in fourth place.

Karim Frick raised to 350,000 from the button with 7♥6♥ and Daniel Schwitter called 9♣7♣ from the small blind. Big blind "Kaspar Schmid" followed suit with J♣4♣ and the three of them went to a flop.
Frick flopped the super nuts on 3♠5♥4♥ and bet 200,000 once the action had checked to him. Both Schwitter and "Kaspar Schmid" made the call and the 6♠ turn was dealt.
Now it was Schwitter who took the betting lead with his newly acquired straight. He decided upon a size of 425,000 and "Kaspar Schmid" got out of the way,
Frick then decided to go all-in and Schwitter quickly called. Both players could still win outright with a flush or a higher straight, but the river 6♦ made sure the pot was chopped in the end.
