Davidi Kitai moved all in from early position for 464,000 and action folded around to Mikael Lundell in the big blind and he went into the tank. He eventually made the call and the players showed:

Lundell: {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds}
Kitai: {Q-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} and Kitai's pair of queens emerged best. There was a bit of confusion about who had whom covered, but after a count, Lundell was left with just over 20,000 in chips.

Lundell was all in from the small blind in the very next hand, and after a limp from Fintan Gavin, Sebastian Ruthenberg put in a raise to isolate Lundell. Action folded around and the players showed:

Lundell: {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
Ruthenberg: {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} and Ruthenberg's eights were best. He picked up the small pot and sent Lundell home as the final table bubble boy in ninth place. Lundell will take home a consolation prize of € 74,400 for his impressive finish in this event.
