Max Altergott Eliminated in 13th Place (€87,900)

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Max Altergott
Max Altergott

Max Altergott shoved all in for 685,000 from the hijack. Christoph Vogelsang folded from the cutoff and Ivan Luca on the button asked for a count. He glanced over to Mike McDonald and Sylvain Loosli in the blinds, and soon found out both those players were short stacked. Luca then announced all in over the top for 2,455,000 and McDonald en Loosli both quickly folded.

Max Altergott: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Ivan Luca: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The {6-Diamonds} in the window just about ended it for Altergott and the {4-Spades} and {K-Clubs} that accompanied the six on the flop didn't help too much. By the time the {K-Hearts} hit the turn, Altergott was done for and he got up from the table. The {5-Hearts} completed the board and Altergott said "Good game guys!"

Altergott hit the rail in 13th place, taking home €87,900. The remaining 12 players are guaranteed €99,800.
