Aku Joentausta Eliminated in 2nd Place (€325,346*)
Andras Nemeth potted the button for 900,000. Aku Joentausta called in the big blind before he check-called Nemeth's bets of 500,000 on the 4♥2♣2♥ flop and 2,000,000 on the 2♦ turn.
Joentausta checked again on the 7♥ river, this time seeing Nemeth move all in, putting Joentausta at risk for 6,150,000.
Joentausta went deep into the tank, spending all but one of his remaining time banks. Eventually, he slammed in a call for his tournament life.
"Kings," Nemeth announced as he tabled K♥K♦7♦4♦ for deuces full of kings.
"Kings is good," Joentausta replied, and he showed [jdh9d4c] for deuces for nines as the losing hand.
The two players shook hands before Joentausta was escorted to the payout desk to pick up the largest-ever recorded cash in his career of 14 years.
