Sampo Ryynanen Eliminated in 5th Place (€50,290)
Aleksei Vandyshev opened to 300,000 from the hijack and he received calls from Juha Helppi in the cutoff and Aku Joentausta on the button. Sampo Ryynanen shoved from the big blind for around 1,700,000, Vandyshev potted to a bit over 6,000,000, and Helppi folded. Joentausta moved all in for 8,175,000, and Vandyshev called to put both him and Ryynanen at risk in the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Sampo Ryynanen: 9♠9♥6♠4♥ 
Aku Joentausta: A♦A♥J♦5♦
Aleksei Vandyshev: Q♦7♦3♥2♥
Vandyshev had picked the wrong time to amp up the aggression, and was in bad shape against Joentausta, who had trapped with aces and dominated both of Vandyshev's suits. Ryynanen was looking for spades or a nine to triple, but the A♣8♠3♦2♣3♣ runout gave Joentausta top-boat to send Ryynanen to the rail and win a monster hand off of Vandyshev.
