Altergott Eliminated
Level 9
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Max Altergott had been crippled in a previous hand and got his final few chips in preflop blind on blind against chip leader Philipp Gruissem.
Altergott: 
Gruissem: 
"You got €100,000 in with seven-deuce?" said Gruissem, gently ribbing his opponent.
It looked as though Altergott would double up as the flop came 
and the turn gave him two pair with the 
. But the river was the 
and Gruissem made a straight meaning last year's winner is now out of the tournament.
