Leon Sturm Eliminated in 3rd Place ($90,800)
Level 17
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Chipleader Daniel Smiljkovic open-jammed the button and the short-stacked Leon Sturm made the call from the small blind.
Leon Sturm: A♠5♥
Daniel Smiljkovic: J♥4♥
"Uh-oh," said Sturm when he saw the flop of 9♥10♠8♥. Smiljkovic hit one of his many outs on the 4♦ turn, and the J♠ river upgraded him to two pair. He eliminated Sturm and is now heads up with Aleksejs Ponakovs.
