Hannes Jeschka raised all in for his remaining 2,600,000 chips and Dong Chen made the call from the hijack.

Hannes Jeschka: 7♠7♥ All in
Dong Chen: 9♥9♣

Jeschka needed to hit to stay alive as preflop, he was behind Chen's nines.

The 6♠J♠A♥ flop didn't bring much of a sweat and the 8♦ 2♠ runout didn't improve Jeschka, sending him home in 14th place.
