Romain Kowalczyk Eliminated in 5th Place ($71,002)
Level 35
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Action folded to Steven Stolzenfeld on the button who opened to 1,100,000. Next to act in the small blind was Romain Kowalczyk who put in a three-bet to 3,750,000. Stolzenfeld called.
The flop landed 9♣5♠Q♦ and Stolzenfeld check-called a 2,250,000 bet from Kowalczyk. The 7♠ turn landed and Kowalczyk led for 4,500,000. Stolzenfeld called again.
The 3♦ landed on the river and Kowalczyk only took a moment before announcing all in. It seemed that before the words were even out of his mouth Stolzenfeld had his chips in the middle and quickly tabled 6♥8♥ for the stone cold nuts.
Kowalczyk would flash A♠K♠ before it hit the muck. Kowalczyk would finish in 5th place after an incredible run.
