Voertmann:
Voertmann rivered jacks up which was enough to eliminate Doug Ganger in second place. Ganger will take home $182,822 for a fantastic run in this event.
Voertmann Scoops Twice
Jens Voertmann has just scooped two hands in succession to take a strangle-hold on this tournament.

) 
for a pair of jacks and six-low to scoop the pot.The following hand saw Voertmann betting aggressively on every street once more with (
) 
for two pair. Ganger called him down with 
but could only table a pair of sevens.Ganger is now crippled and down to his last 250,000 chips.
Ganger Doubles Up
The pot was five-bet on third street between our two players. On fourth street, Jens Voertmann bet and Doug Ganger made the call. The rest of Ganger's chips went in on fifth street. At the time Ganger showed a pair of tens against a pair of eights for Voertmann. Ganger caught a second pair on the river for tens up and Voertmann never improved. After the hand, Ganger is back up to 1,325,000 and Voertmann has 1,175,000.
Voertmann Recovers in Stud
Once again Jens Voertmann has found the stud round to his liking after just capturing two massive pots against Doug Ganger.
In the first hand the action was three-bet on third street and then Voertmann bet the whole way showing
, forcing a fold on the river from Ganger with 
.The next hand the action was again three-bet on third street with Voertmann raising the bet from Ganger on fourth, before again taking the lead to bet every street. On the river Ganger made a move with a raise but Voertmann made a quick call.
Ganger flipped (
) 
for just a small pair with Voertmann's (
) 
good to collect the monster pot.Jens Voertmann now has the chip lead with around 2 million in chips.
Chip Update
Jens Voertmann 700,000
Play has now switched to seven-card stud.
Ganger Makes...Quads!
The flop was checked through with Doug Ganger betting the turn and river. Jens Voertmann called him down with the board showing 6-Q-9-8-8 rainbow.
Ganger paused for a moment and sifted through his cards and stated, "I....have....quads," and slowly tossed out two eights in the hole for the stone cold nuts. Voertmann grunted in disgust, perhaps at the result or perhaps at the way it was revealed as he slips to only 500,000 in chips.
Chip Update
Jens Voertmann 900,000
The game has switched to Omaha-8. The first hand saw a huge pot between the two, but it was split.
