Tobias Reinkemeier Eliminated in 3rd Place (€119,660)

Tobias Reinkemeier and Laurent Polito both went all in preflop. Alex Bilokur got out of the way and the two were left heads up.

Showdown

Reinkemeier: {A-Spades} {9-Spades}
Polito: {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

The {J-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} flop paired Reinkemeier's ace, and also gave a set to Polito leaving him in the lead. The {Q-Hearts} on the turn didn't favor any of the two, while {J-Spades} on the river gave the Frenchman an even better hand.

Both players' stacks looked very similar and the dealer had to recount them to eventually announce that Reinkemeier's was a little shorter which meant the end his tournament run.
