On the first hand of the final table, Dirk Schumacher opened to 45,000 from the hijack. Zewei Ding three-bet to 75,000 from the big blind after mulling over his options. Schumacher four-bet to 195,000 and snap-called for the 135,000 he had behind after Ding jammed as the bigger stack.
Dirk Schumacher: A♥A♠
Zewei Ding: K♥K♦
It was the ultimate cooler to kick off the race to the bracelet and Schumacher improved to a set on the A♣Q♠J♣ flop. Ding had a draw to Broadway, which came in on the 10♥ turn.
Gasps came from each of the finalists ahead of the 6♥ river, confirming Schumacher's departure.
Schumacher took the beat like a champ, and snapped a picture of the board before heading to the payout desk.
