Hand #89: Christian Nolte limped in from the small blind and Ranno Sootla moved all in from the big blind. Nolte called for just shy of 25 big blinds.

Christian Nolte: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Ranno Sootla: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Nolte's rail was shouting for an ace or queen and the door card was the {A-Hearts}, but the celebration was cut short as the {6-Clubs} and {3-Clubs} followed right after. Nolte was drawing dead by the {5-Spades} turn, which made the {J-Diamonds} river a formality. Nolte was eliminated in 4th place and takes home $89,151 for his efforts.
