Just Before Break...

Ekrem Sanioglu can't believe what happened
Ekrem Sanioglu can't believe what happened

Just before the break, Philipp Gruissem and Ekrem Sanioglu were heads up with the board reading {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Gruissem checked to Sanioglu, who bet 28,000. Gruissem check-raised to about 100,000.

"I am all-in," Sanioglu announced instantly.

Gruissem tanked and asked for a count.

"You have plenty of chips," Sanioglu said to Gruissem. "Call."

"I don't think I can fold," Gruissem admitted. "I am sorry if I suck out on you."

Gruissem called, and the hands were opened.

Gruissem: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}
Sanioglu: {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

The {3-Diamonds} was a brick, but the {7-Hearts} slammed on the river, giving Sanioglu a winning straight.

Sanioglu smacked the table in disappointment and is eliminated, while Gruissem is up to an impressive 930,000 chips.
